Can someone make own cd of orginal artist's songs and sell?

I have a friend who's son is autistic with amazing musical and vocal skills. They are thinking about making a professional quality compilation cd of Beatles and various artist's songs to sell at open mic nights and showcases where he performs. Does anyone know if this is legal?

    I believe he can make the c.d. but he can not sell it. He would have to give it away.

    I think selling it would be a copyright infringement

    I am not a lawyer, so don't consider this as advice , only my opinion

    you have to ask permission from the copyright holders. That is an absolute must!
