I enjoyed his Flip Wilson’s show when I was a little kid. He made every age laugh. If I’m honest, his comedy could have been like Loony Toons, funny for all with extra humor for adults. I’d like to see one of those episodes again.

My family never missed it! My parents loved comedy and had lots of LPs of the best, like Flip, Phyllis Diller, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby (hey, he was really funny back in the 60s).

I loved me some Flip Wilson! in 1969 I bought the album The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress & memorized the whole thing. Reverend Leroy of the church of what's happening now. when you went to Leroy's place he didn't talk about what happened in the past or the future. when you went to Leroy's place you heard what's happening NOW.
The whole album was worth my babysitting money. what a treasure that was!

Flip Wilson starred in the second vignette in the very first episode of Love American Style in 1969. It was a terrific segment, very well-written and -acted, took place in a specifically African-American context, and everyone in the large cast was African-American. When I watch it today, I'm reminded of two things: what a great performer Flip Wilson was (his role here is understated, more light-drama than knee-slapping comedy, and he nails it), and how sure it seemed in the 70s that racial division was finally being torn down and America would be a nation of neighbors going forward.
