Two years after its release, the melody and arrangement from "Yeah Man," one of the tracks from the album, was plagiarized by Arthur Conley and Otis Redding for their own song "Sweet Soul Music," which became a major hit for Conley. Cooke's estate eventually sued Conley and Redding and received songwriting credit and a settlement.
