They ran into Frank Farian, who was an expert in a very specific kind of exploitation. A lot of the documentary was attempting to not only contextualize their downfall, but to also add some kind of emotional hues to it, to expand beyond just the duo being a joke.: Behind, I think, every artist being exploited in the music industry is usually a contract that they signed without maybe fully understanding everything that is in the fine print.
And then he says, "But a very small part of me believes that we should have won the Grammy." This is extraordinary — in the moment where you know you didn't sing a single note, you're still like, "Yeah, but we worked really hard. We danced really well. We went through this whole thing. Maybe there's a part of me that believes we should have won the Grammy.
That part of him that says, "Yes," I understand it because one, I'm a Grammy skeptic, so at this point, who cares. But I get it. Even if the voice on the record wasn't theirs, they endured something to make those records. I don't want to take away from the folks who actually performed those songs, performed the vocals. But there was work beyond the vocalizing.
