What old songs does this sample?

Im tryna find out the name of the old song this song samples. Ive heard it before, if sounds like one of those old political type rock n roll songs from back in the day. Heres the streaming link to the song:

But just in case this link doesnt play, then you can go to site and play it. The name of the song is "Fly Away".

To be more specific, Im tryna find out where the guitar loop in the background throughout the song comes from.

Its an old popular song, Ive heard it so many times, but I dont who it is that sings it.

Sounds like Voyage 2 Atlantis by the Isley brothers.

Nah, its not Voyage 2 Atlantis

But I found another song with the same sample, and this time you can hear it more clearly.

Anybody know what old song does this song samples? Not the Biggie sample but the guitar loop.

Ahh, I first heard that sample back in '93/'94 on Rappin' 4-Tay's "Players' Club". That shit drove me crazy trying to figure that out, too!! Especially when I met 4-Tay... I asked him what the sample was, but he didn't know!! WTF!! lol I thought the same thing, though... actually I was thinking the Rolling Stones or something like that.

It's called "Private Number" by William Bell
