プリンスさんのインスタグラム写真 - (プリンスInstagram)「Prince and @officialspikelee had a decades-long friendship that was born out of mutual respect and admiration, and which began back in the late 1980s after Spike released his first film, She's Gotta Have It, and Prince invited him to visit his @officialpaisleypark complex. • The two artists kept in touch for the next three decades, occasionally collaborating on projects or offering one another support. In 1996, Prince contributed numerous recordings to the soundtrack for Spike Lee's film Girl 6, including hits like "Girls & Boys," "Erotic City," and "Adore," tracks from Prince side projects Vanity 6 and the Family, and three previously unreleased songs. • To thank him for his contributions, Spike Lee penned a special note to Prince in the soundtrack's liner notes — making special note of the fact that Prince had recently changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. "Many thanks 2 The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, U made a great sacrifice to make this happen. I love U and U will see the dawn," Spike wrote. • In 2018, Spike Lee featured Prince's music in another one of his films, BlacKkKlansman. The final, dramatic scenes in the film were accompanied by Prince's long-lost performance of the gospel standard "Mary, Don't You Weep" from the posthumously released Piano and a Microphone 1983. • BlacKkKlansman received several Oscar nominations, and on February 24, 2019, Spike Lee attended the ceremony and won his first award for Best Adapted Screenplay while dressed in a purple suit and special custom-made gold, diamond and opal symbol necklace in tribute to Prince. “It might be six, eight months before we talked but when we talked it was like, we see each other,” Spike Lee told The New York Times at this year's ceremony.」3月24日 2時24分
