The [[film score]] was composed, arranged and conducted by [[Elmer Bernstein]], and the [[soundtrack album]] was released on the [[Decca Records|Decca]] label in February 1956.<ref name="Decca discography">Edwards, D., Callahan, M., Eyries, P., Watts, R., & Neely, T. [http://www.bsnpubs.com/decca/decca/decca8000.html Decca Album Discography, Part 4: Main 12-inch 8000 Series (1949-1960)] accessed August 11, 2015</ref> [[Allmusic]]'s Bradley Torreano called it "one of the finest jazz soundtracks to come out of the '50s" and said that "on its own it still shines as an excellent example of how good film music can get. Bernstein's control over the smallest details of the music is what gives it the energy it contains; his blustery horns and deep percussion are only the front while some gorgeous orchestration happens almost unnoticed behind the music."<ref name="Allmusic">{{AllMusic|first=Bradley |last=Torreano |class=album |id=mw0000213342 |title=''The Man with the Golden Arm (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)'' – Review |access-date=August 11, 2015}}</ref>

The [[(Themes from) The Man with the Golden Arm|title theme]] was recorded by many other musicians including [[Billy May]] & His Orchestra who had a #9 hit in the UK in May 1956; [[Jet Harris]], who released it as a single in 1962,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Jet-Harris-Main-Title-Theme-From-The-Man-With-The-Golden-Arm/release/2280807 |title=Jet Harris - Main Title Theme (from The Man With The Golden Arm)  |website=Discogs.com |year=1962 |access-date=2015-11-26}}</ref> Glam rockers [[The Sweet|Sweet]] covered the theme on their album ''[[Desolation Boulevard]]'' (Europe LP only), and [[Barry Adamson]], who released a version on his album ''[[Moss Side Story]]'' (1988). A vocal version of the theme called "Delilah Jones", with lyrics by [[Sylvia Fine]] unrelated to the subject matter of the film, was released by the [[McGuire Sisters]] on [[Coral Records]] in 1956.<ref name=afi /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/McGuire-Sisters-The-Picnic-Delilah-Jones/master/613226 |title=The McGuire Sisters* - Picnic/ Delilah Jones  |website=Discogs.com |access-date=2015-11-26}}</ref>

A vocal version of Bernstein's composition "Molly" with lyrics by Fine, entitled "Molly-O", was also recorded by a number of artists, including [[The Gaylords (American vocal group)|The Gaylords]], Dick Jacobs and his orchestra, and others.<ref name=afi /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200183258/ |title=Notated Music: Molly-O |publisher=[[Library of Congress]] |website=Loc.gov |access-date=2015-11-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Dick-Jacobs-And-His-Chorus-And-Orchestra-Main-Title-And-Molly-O-Butternut/release/1525951 |title=Dick Jacobs and his Chorus and Orchestra - "Main Title" and "Molly-O"/ Butternut |website=Discogs.com |access-date=2015-11-26}}</ref>

An alternate theme song, "The Man With the Golden Arm", was composed by [[Sammy Cahn]] and [[Jimmy Van Heusen]], and recorded by Sinatra backed by [[Nelson Riddle]]'s orchestra. However, the song was ultimately not used in the film and did not appear on the soundtrack album. Although Sinatra's recording appeared on some [[bootleg recording|bootleg albums]], it remained officially unreleased until 2002, when it was included in the box set ''[[Frank Sinatra in Hollywood 1940–1964]]''. [[Sammy Davis Jr.]] also recorded a version of the Cahn/ Van Heusen theme, which was released on Decca in 1955.<ref name=afi /><ref>{{cite news |last=Oliver |first=Myrna |date=1993-01-16 |title=Sammy Cahn, Oscar-Winning Lyricist, Dies |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-01-16-mn-1323-story.html |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |location=[[Los Angeles, California]] |via=Latimes.com |access-date=2015-11-26 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Sammy-Davis-Jr-The-Man-With-The-Golden-Arm-In-A-Persian-Market/master/670602 |title=Sammy Davis Jr. - The Man With The Golden Arm/ In a Persian Market  |website=Discogs.com |access-date=2015-11-26}}</ref>
