Post Best places for Royalty-free and "small fee" music to download? doyle
A company has asked me to do a promotional video for them about a man who was one of the most popular "Santas" in Atlanta. Over 20 years, thousands of children sat on his lap at Southlake and Phipps Plaza Malls.

He passed away in late November last year.

On his Santa suit, he always wore a pin that said "God Loves You." His favortie song was "Amazing Grace." He often used "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" for times when he was on the job as Santa.

Where can I obtain the rights to use those songs either royalty-free or for a small fee? Also need "Jingle Bells" and "Amazing Grace" by Judy Collins.

All of them can be downloaded from YouTube or I-Tunes for personal listening, but the company that asked me to do the video, is a commercial business, a "For-Profit" company. I don't want them to get sued, so we are needing to obain permission-rights to use the music.

Your wise counsel is much appreciated.

Amazing grace and Jingle bells are public domain - no royalities or permissions needed.

Santa Clause is coming to Town is Not Public domain and requires permissions.
