The brothers may control the label, but doesn't Warner control most of it's classic Sugarhill catalog?

They were able to sample Good Times without crediting Edwards and Rodgers ,[[check Rappers Delights label credits. We talking about Atlantic Records and Chic's major hit as a backing track. That's juice , or major out of court negotiations. This comes as no surprise. All Platinum industries was a hot company wayyy before the formation of Sugarhill, believe that. This is no surprise in the least.

All Platinum may have been a shoestring operation vis-a-vis Motown and Stax, but it did contribute some fine moments in the annals of music history. Listen to Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame," Donnie Elbert's take on the Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go," Sylvia's "Pillow Talk," and the Moments' "Love on a Two-Way Street" and "Sexy Mama," if you want further proof.

As far as ownership of the masters goes, last I've heard Universal Music may have ownership of the masters.
