Zanedog Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Just noticed It's so Easy has been removed from spotify, anyone know Why? It's not on AFD or the Greatest Hits.

History2010 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 This has happened a few times before. The leading theory is royalty issues with West Arkeen's estate - as it's always songs he wrote that get taken down. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Maybe there are still legal disputes among West Arkeen's heirs about the copyright ownership and his songs have been removed from US based services until the matter is resolved.
