How can I find out who holds the current rights to a song?

I’d like to record some covers of some songs for profit, but the original artists are mostly dead. So that doesn’t necessarily mean that the songs are in public domain. Is there a simple source that I can just plug in the song title and original artist and see who I need to contact? If so, what is it?
