In 1977, at age twenty-four, Fred Mollin co-produced a record that became one of the most successful ballads in pop music history. How do you follow that? Unplugged answers that question with a journey through a musical and creative life well-lived. The adventures in Mollin’s memoirs, the disclosure of previously untold behind-the-scenes stories, and the incredible array of personalities who make these tales so rich, is a fascinating, humorous, educational, no-holds-barred, and inspiring story.

It is a book that recounts a life and untold stories from a musical career that involves the world of record production and film composing, spanning over fifty years and counting. Told with humility and humor, Fred Mollin’s journey among so many legends and fascinating people and projects, gives the reader a chance to see behind closed doors.
