Licensing Music?

hi,
well we found a piece of music which we think fits to be the title track of our series. its an old piece of music from the late 60's and maybe wed like it re-recorded to update it maybe.
i tried the artists official site there is no informtion. ive written to some clearing houses.
i hope its not prohibitively expensive.

I know that Rhino Records went through old Billboards and contacted the owners of almost every song that made it into the Top 100. They purchased all rights to some of these songs for as little as $1000. That's not duplication rights, that's ownership of the song. They bought ALL rights. I would think the cost to duplicate the song for a project should be hella cheep, as long as the song you refer to as "an old piece of music from the late 60's" isn't "Light My Fire" or something.

i want o know how you find out who you need ot contact ot buy these rights?

I'd start by Googling the title and artist of the song. Record company, if you know it.

actually the four audio majors (sony,bmg,warner&EMI) all have their online sites where u can search the song and immediately request a quote.
f****** problem is i foudn the artist not the song.
