Isaac Hayes Estate Sues Trump Campaign Over Song Usage

: Former U.S. President Donald Trump campaigns in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

A legal battle is brewing over the Trump campaign's use of the soul song 'Hold On, I'm Comin',' co-written by the late Isaac Hayes, which is set to be heard in federal court on Tuesday.

The estate of Isaac Hayes is seeking an emergency injunction to halt former President Donald Trump from playing the song at campaign events, citing lack of approval from the estate. Hayes, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 65, co-wrote the song with David Porter in 1966. The song was famously performed by the duo Sam & Dave, consisting of Sam Moore and the late Dave Prater.
