Live at the Myriad! Well… “Live”; Milli Vanilli Is Sort Of Up For A Grammy Again, Again!
Description
This week on *Free Nights and Weekends*, we get ready for The Grammys! We welcome in longtime friend and veteran musician Rick Toops — and the two dive headfirst into one of the wildest pop-culture stories of the late ’80s: the rise, fall, and unexpected comeback of Milli Vanilli. Yep. You read that right. Fab Morvan — one half of the most infamous duo in pop history — is nominated for a Grammy. Again. And it just so happens Rick was there, in Oklahoma City, watching Milli Vanilli perform at the Myriad right before the scandal broke. The crowd. The energy. The lip-syncing. The clues. The chaos. Rick walks Scott — and you — through the entire surreal experience. In this episode: The night Milli Vanilli came to Oklahoma City. Rick’s behind-the-scenes musician perspective. How the duo shot to global superstardom * The fallout after the tapes stopped matching the lips * And how, somehow, decades later… redemption comes knocking at the Grammys. It’s nostalgic, it’s ridiculous, it’s musical, and it’s right here!
Rick is a better keyboardist that any of us! Listen here!
