Spotify haven't "worked hard to get music on the service" in this case - I want to see an email chain contacting the record label to release the track...

Spotify tries really hard to get music available on their service, but in the end the availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.

This thread by Spotify staff explains why some music is not available:

YesYes I want the original song sweet freedom there's most of the other hits on there but this one ???????

Would love to have this song on Spotify.  It was from a movie soundtrack originally which might be why itโ€™s not available

I also really want this song... maybe we should switch to Apple Music...?

This is Michael McDonalds signature song. It is one of the best songs ever. Please put it on spotify.

Any update here? The only version of Michael McDonald Sweet Freedom on Spotify is a live version, that isn't nearly as good as the original!
