The Devil in Me is the sixth album by Thelma Houston released in 1977.[1] While this album did not duplicate the commercial success of the Any Way You Like It album, it became a modest commercial success, peaking at No. 64 in the US album chart/No. 29 R&B. The lead single was the R&B and Club/Dance chart hit, "I'm Here Again". "I Can't Go On Living Without Your Love" was issued as a double-sided 12" single back-to-back with Diana Ross' "Your Love Is So Good to Me".[2]

The album was arranged by Kim Richmond, James Anthony Carmichael, Gordon C. Berg, Greg Wright, Michel Rubini and Michael Omartian. The cover photograph was by Tom Kelley.

The Devil in Me was released on CD in 2018 by Soulmusic Records, in a compilation that also includes Ready to Roll, Ride to the Rainbow and Reachin' All Around.
