Title: "Prince: He's Back"
Written By:

Previously Prince will revert to his semi-original name-he was born Prince Nelson -and drop the unpronounceable symbol he's been using for three years. Why? Because he has nine songs he recorded as Prince on the soundtrack of "Girl Six," Spike Lee's new movie, plus three TAFKAP songs, including the title track. The confusion would have made marketing the album a nightmare." He’s doing it because of his friendship with Spike," a source told Manhattan File's Roger Friedman, who also reports Prince changed his name in 1993 to free himself from his contract with Warner.
