Rob & Fab was a dance-pop duo consisting of Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, formed in 1990 following their departure from the commercially successful yet controversial act Milli Vanilli.
Career
In the aftermath of the Milli Vanilli lip-syncing controversy, Pilatus and Morvan sought to prove their genuine singing talent by recording "Don't Give Up the Fight." Although they performed the song on television, it was never officially released. They then moved to Los Angeles, where, under new management led by Sandy Gallin and signed with The Joss Entertainment Group, they produced new recordings showcasing their authentic vocals.
Their only album, titled Rob & Fab, was funded by Taj Records, a subsidiary of Joss, in 1992 and saw release in 1993. The single "We Can Get It On" received some promotion through radio airplay and an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, but it did not achieve commercial success. Due to insufficient marketing efforts and budget limitations, the album was distributed solely within the United States—a market that had been largely critical of Milli Vanilli. The single failed to enter the charts, and overall album sales reached only about 2,000 copies.
During the following two years, Pilatus and Morvan's relationship deteriorated, and Taj Records eventually ceased operations. Rob & Fab marked Pilatus's last official release before his passing in 1998. Although a Milli Vanilli reunion album titled Back and in Attack, recorded in 1997 with both artists, exists, it remains unreleased.
Morvan later embarked on a solo path, issuing the album Love Revolution in 2003.
