Rob & Fab
Encyclopedia
Rob & Fab was a US pop
and dance music
project formed and fronted by Rob Pilatus
and Fabrice Morvan in 1990 after their participation in the commercially very successful but ill-fated Milli Vanilli
band project.
Upon separation from the Milli Vanilli project, Pilatus and Morvan moved to Los Angeles, California
, and signed to The Joss Entertainment Group, with whom the duo recorded the album, Rob & Fab
, financed by Taj Records in 1992 and released by Joss Entertainment in 1993. Due to financial constraints, they were only to release the album in the U.S. A single, "We Can Get It On", was made available for radio play shortly before the album's release, however, the single did not have much commercial success, due to lack of publicity, scandal surroundings, and lip-syncing allegations. Finally, the album sales peaked at only 2,000 copies, and Taj Records soon went out of business. Rob & Fab did not record or release any further music.
Over the next two years, the two stopped speaking to one another. Subsequently, Rob & Fab disbanded. The 1993 Rob & Fab album was the last performance by Pilatus prior to his death in 1998. Morvan would not release another album until his 2003 solo work, Love Revolution.
