Man to Man is the third studio album by British soul band Hot Chocolate. It was released in August 1976 on the RAK Records label, owned by Mickie Most, who was the band's producer. The album peaked at number thirty-two on the UK Albums Chart[3] and one-hundred and seventy-two on the US Billboard 200 album chart.[4]

The original 1976 LP release comprised nine original songs, of which only one ("You Could've Been A Lady") was credited to the band's original writing team, lead vocalist Errol Brown and bassist Tony Wilson. Wilson had left the group following the band's second studio album. Brown wrote the majority of the album separately, with the band members Harvey Hinsley, Patrick Olive and Tony Connor contributing two songs. The album did not spawn any major hits in the UK or US, although "Don't Stop It Now" and the title track made the UK top twenty.[3]

The album was issued on CD for the first time with two bonus tracks in 2009.
