Pieces of a Man is the debut solo studio album by the American poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron. It was recorded in April 1971 at RCA Studios in New York City and released later that year by Flying Dutchman Records. The album followed Scott-Heron's debut live album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox (1970); it departed from that album's spoken word performance, instead featuring more conventional popular song structures, with Scott-Heron singing and backed by a full band.
