Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Fred Mollin, Acclaimed Music Producer, Songwriter, Film and TV Composer


About Harvey's guest:


Today’s guest, Fred Mollin, is a true giant in the music world. Although he may not be a household name, I guarantee that you’ve heard his music multiple times and in a variety of mediums. 


He’s a multi-award-winning record producer, musician, songwriter, film and TV composer and music director, who first came to international prominence in the late 70’s when he produced Dan Hill’s albums, most notably “Longer Fuse”, which produced the classic Grammy nominated hit song, "SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH". He went on to make critically acclaimed records with some of the greatest superstars in music history including Jimmy Webb, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Mathis, Carole King, Billy Joel, Glen Campbell, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Natalie Cole, Chris Stapleton – and believe me, I’m just scratching the surface. 


He also spent 17 years as a highly successful composer for television and film, writing scores for major motion pictures like “Hanoi Hilton”, “Fast Company”, “Spring Fever”, “The Fall”, “Friday the 13th: The New Blood AND Jason Takes Manhattan”, as well as for the “Friday the 13th” TV series and many other hit TV shows including “Beverly Hills 90210”, “Hard Copy”, “Outer Limits” and “My Secret Identity”. 


He also composed the music scores for dozens of TV movies including “Amy Fisher: My Story”, “Little Criminals”, “White Lies” and “Daydream Believer: The Monkees Story”, on which he also served as music director. He’s also been the Vice President of A&R for Walt Disney Records and produced a whole slew of children’s lullaby albums under the Disney label, as well as executive producing the blockbuster show and CD, “High School Musical – The Concert”. Our guest has won 3 Juno Awards, a Gemini Award and 5 SOCAN Awards.  


And now, he’s released a highly insightful and terrifically entertaining memoir entitled, “Unplugged: Stories and Secrets from a Life of Making Records, Scoring Film, and Working with the Legends of Music.”
