Farian chose Pilatus and Morvan to front a studio project featuring the vocal talents of Charles Shaw, John Davis, and Brad Howell. Farian felt that those musicians were talented but unmarketable. The first Milli Vanilli album was All or Nothing (see 1988 in music). Despite critical pans, Milli Vanilli's fame continued to grow worldwide. All Or Nothing was repackaged, remixed and retitled Girl You Know It's True for its U.S. release, and spun five hit singles from late 1988 through early 1990: the title track, "All Or Nothing," and the group's three #1 hits, "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You," "Baby Don't Forget My Number," and "Blame It On The Rain." Milli Vanilli won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist on February 22, 1990 for Girl You Know It's True (1990 in music).
The duo were a frequent target of jokes by late-night television host Arsenio Hall, whose lambasting of the group only increased as rumors and allegations of on-stage lip-synching and studio trickery circulated amongst the music media. Pilatus was ridiculed in the press for comparing himself to Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, The Village People, and Bob Dylan[citation needed].
