I found a great site that will allow me to enter lyrics and it will
search and come back with the title and artist. Unfortunately,
it only goes back to the 70s.
Does anyone know of a similar site for that covers 1940s to 1960s
songs?
I play in a trivia contest every year that is held thru the University of
Wisconsin at Stevens Point. This would be a remendous aid.

Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Skeezix -- what IS that great post-60s site??? As for the earlier years,
I have had great success with HotBot and Excite (www.hotbot.com,
www.excite.com), which are general search engines. You just put in your
lyric phrase and ask it to find the exact phrase (as opposed to "all the
words" or whatever). They're not perfect but they're good. Don't forget
about our friends at the lyrics newsgroup -- they've solved many a riddle
for me.
