Girl 6 (song)

"Girl 6" is the title track to Prince's 1996 soundtrack album Girl 6. It is also the only song released as a single from the album.

The CD single was released in the U.S. and was backed with the 1982 Vanity 6 hit, "Nasty Girl". Rather than a "Prince" composition, the song was credited to The New Power Generation. The music is credited to Tommy Barbarella, from the NPG. The lyrics are clearly sung by Prince, however, foreshadowing his elevation to lead singer of The New Power Generation on 1998's Newpower Soul.

Girl 6

Girl 6 is a 1996 American film by director Spike Lee about a phone sex operator. Theresa Randle played the title character, and playwright Suzan-Lori Parks wrote the screenplay. The soundtrack is composed entirely of songs written by Prince. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. Directors Quentin Tarantino and Ron Silver make cameo appearances as film directors at a pair of interesting auditions. It is the first film directed by Lee in which he did not write the screenplay.

Plot

Judy (Theresa Randle) is at an audition with Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino reveals that the film Judy is auditioning for is "the greatest romantic, African-American film ever made. Directed by me, of course" and is requested to remove her blouse so "Q.T." and his assistant can see her breasts. She reluctantly complies, but walks out on the audition.

Her agent (John Turturro) is furious. Having worked hard to get Judy her audition with such a prestigious director, he quickly and angrily drops her from his roster of clients. Her melodramatic acting coach (Susan Batson) is also extremely displeased. When Judy tells her why she did not go through with the audition, the acting coach still does not see any reason why Judy should have walked out. This, topped with the fact that Judy has not paid her rent in a very long while, forces her to drop Judy from her roster of clients as well.
