The Man and His Music is a 1981 NBC television special by American singer Frank Sinatra.

[4] The set list was picked from the 100-plus albums Sinatra has recorded, and his performance was backed by a 50-piece orchestra that featured a string ensemble of 30 musicians.

[6] Music critic John O'Connor wrote in The New York Times that the special "provided the acclaimed performer with one of his most tasteful and effective showcases ... Sinatra is at the top of his form and obviously enjoying himself".

[7] Yardena Arar from the Associated Press wrote that "there are no frills on this hour-long show, no pretty girls, no location shooting, no comedians , no studio audience, no canned laughter, no applause ... what remains is simple and elegant ... Sinatra, impeccable in black tie, chats briefly about each of 14 tunes culled from the albums he's done over the years ... and then it really is just that: the man and his music".

[9] In a contemporary review of the video that was released, Heather Phares from AllMusic said "Sinatra's voice isn't quite at its peak and some of the song selections haven't aged well, his renditions of "Something," "Thanks for the Memory," and "Theme From 'New York, New York'" are still impressive, and fans will still want the last chapter of The Man and His Music in their collections".
