I am doing a radio program in The Netherlands about music of music of social engagement of the 30's to the 60's. I have found some old 78 records put out in 1940. Three songs on it are: Union Train, Song for Bridges, Talking Union. On the label is says Almanac Singers. And no composer. I found a coupld of composers on the lyrics search. Nothing for "song for bridges".

My questions: 1) Well I can hear the lyrics clearly, but I was interested when and by whom they were composed. I only can find the "copyright People's Music 1947" info which is on the lyrics sight.

2) who can give me a site where I can easily find the birth (and if so death) dates of singers like Woodie Guthrie, Paul robeson, etcetera?

Thanks
