Can i use a part of a song from late 70's in a current song without getting sued?

i want to sample a part of a famous singer's song and use it in a song of mine. The song was done in the late 70's, but i dont know if i should seek copyright permission first. i intend to use the singer's voice just like kanye west does. Will i get sued ?

First, check the copyright record. You can do that here:

http://www.copyright.gov/records/ -- Search Copyright Records

Second, contact a copyright attorney about the next best step. The cost for a quick consult could be worth it to avoid hassles later on down the road.

Hope that helps!
