Have you checked out tracklib.com? It's what I recommend to all my students for sampling. It's a huge catalog of vintage samples from major artists going back to the 50s and 60s, all pre-cleared. You might spend $50- $500 upfront to clear a sample and some percentage of your royalties, but worth it if your track ever blows up, you won't be dreading a lawsuit that will wipe away all your revenue.

All that said, tracklib.com is wonderful. Can't recommend it enough. Source: almost 2 years ago
Keep in mind if you didn't pay for a license to use a sample from tracklib.com's library of pre-cleared samples (I don't think any other website is offering this) then you're unable to clear the sample as a producer because the artist you're sampling would need to hear the lyrical content of the finished song to make their decision/negotiate.
