I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I always thought performers didn't need the songwriter's "blessing" to record a song, they just needed to pay the appropriate "fee" for copyrighted material. As I said, I could be very wrong and if I am, I know someone with more knowledge in this area will jump in and explain it to us.
