Milli Vanilli "Girl, I'm Gonna Miss You"

Before there was #FakeNews, there was #FakeMusic and no musical act defined #FakeMusic like the notorious group Milli Vanilli. The duo managed to lip-sync their way through hit songs, Grammy Awards and scandal. The group's 1989 ballad "Girl, I'm Gonna Miss You" went to #1 on the Hot 100 (#21 on the Adult Contemporary Chart) just before their empire came crumbling down.

Kathy Troccoli - "Tell Me Where It Hurts"

"Tell Me Where It Hurts" was originally written for Milli Vanilli.  After Milli Vanilli was exposed as a lip syncing fraud, the guys who actually did sing for Milli Vanilli (The Real Milli Vanilli) recorded the song for their 1991 album.  A few years later, Christian recording artist Kathy Troccoli found success with the single on Adult Contemporary radio.  To recap: fraudsters failed to chart the song and the Christian artist stepped in to make it a hit.
