"Take It Like a Man" is a 1975 song written by Fred Turner and Blair Thornton, and first recorded by Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for their December, 1975 album Head On.

Released in January 1976, it was the first and more successful of two singles issued from the LP, the second being the jazzy "Lookin' Out for #1", which missed the U.S. Top 40 but gained some airplay on soft rock stations.

Just before the solo starts, Fred Turner can be heard shouting, “Play it, Richard!"

Little Richard also played piano on the Head On song “Stay Alive”, which was not released as a single.

[3] Cash Box said it's "an excellent tune, and with a fat rhythm section" and with "some great rifting from the guitars, a soulful vocal, and a little rag-rock piano.
