Hello Big Man is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's eleventh studio album (twelfth overall), released in 1983. It is also her last album for Warner Bros. Records (and for what became the Warner Music Group, having also spent time with Elektra Records), as it was a failure commercially despite some reasonable critical reviews. The album featured Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare on a number of tracks, including one Bob Marley cover.
The music video for the single "You Know What to Do", directed by Dominic Orlando from a concept by Simon, was filmed on location in Martha's Vineyard, at her home and in the surrounding woods.

In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
