Ten Cases of Musical Fraud

From the May 31, 2014, Listverse by Damian B.

10.  C&C MUSIC FACTORY--  Their big hit was "Everybody Dance Now" and Martha Wash of the Weather Girls, best known for singing "It's Raining Men" sang te famous refrain but was deemed to unattractive (heavy) to appear in the video and a model was hired to stand in for her.
9.  Lin Miaoke
8.  Mamotu Samuragochi

7.  Joyce Hatto
6.  Sixto Rodriguez
5.  Robert Mawhinney
4.  Jason Malachi

2.  Will and Monifa
1.  MILLI VANILLI--  German duo (Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan) whose album Girl You Know It's True featured a pair of dancers/models.  the real voices were those of Brad Howell, Jophnny Davis and Charles Snow.  They were discovered when the record skipped during a televised performance.

I'd only ever heard of #10 and #1.  The site has information on the others.  Also the songs.
