The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress is the fourth comedy album by American comedian Flip Wilson, and the first record released by Little David Records, a boutique label that Wilson co-founded with his manager Monte Kay. Featuring material written by Wilson, it was his most successful album—his highest-charting album, his only Gold record and his only Grammy Award.[2] Wilson introduces for the first time on a comedy album his character Geraldine Jones, who delivers a retort to form the title of the album.[3]
