Recorded published songs

Greetings all,

I'm not a copyright attorney but I have been approached by a friend with a question. Suppose someone wants to make a tape of songs that have been previously recorded/published by other artists, but singing the songs himself. Who or by what means should he pursue to get permission to record those songs himself? Is there a difference if he just gives tapes away to people or sells them.

Thanks for any help.
