A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump and his campaign must refrain from using the song “Hold On, I’m Comin” after the family of the late singer Isaac Hayes sought an emergency injunction to stop its use at campaign events. The Hayes estate alleges that the campaign did not have approval to use the song.
Isaac Hayes, who co-wrote the song in 1966 with David Porter, passed away in 2008 at the age of 65 after suffering a stroke. The song was performed by the duo Sam & Dave, consisting of Sam Moore and Dave Prater, with Prater passing away in 1988.
