A Man and His Music is a double album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1965. It is provides a brief history of Frank Sinatra's career.

Instead of using the original recordings -- which were made for RCA, Columbia, and Capitol, not his then-current label, Reprise -- Sinatra re-recorded the majority of the album's songs. There is also a narration from Sinatra that runs throughout the album.
