OT: song/recording charts/databases on the web ?

[waltdnes-SLHPyeZ9y/tg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org]

  Is there a recording/song metadata database available on the web?  My
favourite music spans the 30's, 40's, 50's, and to the end of 1963.
E.g. pre-Beatles rock and pop and big-band.  The scarey part is that a
lot of is so old that it's now public domain in Canada and most of the
planet for that matter, excluding the USA and its territories (Puerto
Rico, Guam, Iraq, etc).  I'd like to find out what year songs were done,
and artist names, etc.
