Milli Vanilli on this Day in History

This day in history: Pop group Milli Vanilli were forced to give back their Grammy Awards on this day in 1990 because the duo did not sing on the "Girl You Know It's True" album. I never knew why this was such a scandal, as I knew this happened quite a bit in the music industry. Lawrence Welk, Sheb Wooley, Jackie Gleason all lent their names to albums they had nothing to do with, and the Monkees started out as a fake band. The Beach Boys Pet Sounds album was mostly the work of studio musicians, Eric Clapton played the guitar on the Beatles "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and no one thinks that the Archies or the Muppets' Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem play their own music. Lending your name to books (Ghostwriting) that others have written happens even more often, especially when it comes to political memoirs (there are actually ghostwriting firms [https://www.ka-writing.com/] who charge a lot of money for this).
