Spike Lee's Playlist

Legendary Malcolm X director Spike Lee plays 15 tracks. A mix of his personal favourites taken straight from his phone one morning at BBC 6 Music. Songs include Marvin Gaye's title track from the film Trouble Man. Mary Don't You Weep by Prince, a song discovered in the vault at Paisley Park ( his extraordinary private estate and production complex in Chanhassen) which end credits Spike's new movie Blackkklansman. Spike also talks of being a fan of George Gershwin and plays Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong taken from Porgy and Bess. Spike provides a really ecclectic mix with some surprises such as Sampha and Minnie Ripperton. Other artists include Fluetry, The Jones Girls, Alicia Keys and Chaka Khan.

Spike Lee plays some of his favourite tunes.
