"(The) Soul of a Man" is a gospel blues song recorded by Blind Willie Johnson in 1930.

As with most of Johnson's songs, it deals with a spiritual theme within a blues musical framework.

Accompanying Johnson (vocal and guitar) is Willis B. Harris, sometimes identified as his first wife, who sang harmony on the refrain:[1] Well won't somebody tell me Answer if you can!

The song was released during the Depression "when the mood of the country had darkened"[1] and in 1930, Johnson's records, with their religious themes, were "selling almost twice as many copies as Bessie Smith, and three and four times as many as most of the country blues artists".

[2] "Soul of a Man" has been recorded by various artists,[3] usually with variations in the musical accompaniment.
