My big problem is... I would LOVE to provide this service. If I can pay whoever I need to do this somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 cents a song it would be feasible for me to do. My problem is I have no idea who to even ask (and had bigger fish to fry lately anyway)
I was hoping someone had already done this or knows something but I haven't had any responses yet.

DUH!!!!!!!! ok I get it now the copyright issue. Well, if I bring you the song that is on a disc that I have purchased and ask you to record me singing that song, perhaps that would be covered by the fair use clause of international copyright law. BUT ! I would ask that question of a copyright attorney to be sure.
Years ago I got into a big battle with Kinkos because I had patterns for Stained glass Windows that I had purchased, and of course they were copyrighted. The kinkos clerks had little knowledge of copyright law.
As I had purchased those patterns The Fair use clause gave me the right to enlarge and duplicate those patterns for my own use, even though the end result of my work was the sale of the windows I created from those patterns.
I won !
But as I said ask the proper attorney, because I just kin barely speel atorneey
Hey you might also check with a recording studio and see if they might give you some information, after all they have folks using other folks material all the time no?
Warm regards
