The Man and His Music is a 1986 compilation album by Sam Cooke, released posthumously.

[2] It debuted about a month after Cooke was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[3] Bruce Eder of AllMusic writes, "There are better collections with all of these songs and more on them, but none handier than this in presenting every facet of Cooke's work -- the only flaw, if there is one, is the absence of one of the better tracks off of the Harlem Square live album.

"[4] Rolling Stone's Steve Bloom writes, "The Man and His Music will probably just confirm what people already knew about Sam Cooke: he possessed a voice that could burn down the house, but he compromised it for stardom.
