Certain songs have disappeared and are no longer available. What happened?

Certain songs are gone.  Case in point, "A Little Bit of Bad" by NRBQ and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by The Walker Brothers.

Any clue??

Hey @AndrewDallas, welcome to the Community!

Sometimes content gets temporarily removed because of licensing changes. Hopefully we'll have the tracks will be available again soon.

If you need anything else, let us know.

Content can be removed from Spotify is they lose access to it due to changes in license policies

^UNRESOLVED UPDATE* Scott Walker of the original Walker Brothers just passed away. Their biggest hit “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” has been missing from Spotify’s library for over 7 years now. After researching songwriting and copyrighting distribution rights I can find no reason hindering it beyond Spotify’s refusal. It’s readily available on other music streaming sites, and Spotify still carries the original album and single, but without the title song. Why? MODERATOR please reply. Thank you.

Nope! Spotify still blocking “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” from playing on US user accounts. Not cool.
