Full albums on Youtube

As many of most of us know now there are many, many full albums on youtube that the record companies have posted. I was going through the chi-lites catalogue on youtube and noticed that A Lonely Man is omitted which was a top 5 album by them. Im curious as to if anyone would know why that album has not been posted? Does Universal own Brunswicks material? If so then to me at least that would explain a lot....LOL

I believe ownership of the Brunswick record assets secured by Nat Tarnopol when he joined Brunswick have been retained by his descendants. They continue to license records through Amped acting as their distributor.

I see that 'A Lonely Man' is missing from Spotify whilst all the other Chi-lites albums are there. We can only surmise either there was a conscious decision not to license that specific album or the masters went missing. In any event almost all the tracks are available on the other Chi-lites albums or on compilations.
