Trump Sued by Isaac Hayes’ Estate for Using Songwriter’s Music

"Team Trump and multiple associations and organizations affiliated with the former president will finally have to appear before a judge to explain its unauthorized use of popular music at the GOP candidate’s rallies and events, which has gone on for years but is being threatened by the estate of recording legend Isaac Hayes, which was granted an emergency injunction in its lawsuit against the former president, according to a Friday social media post from the songwriter’s son.

Isaac Hayes III, the Grammy-winning soul music legend’s son, confirmed with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month that his family sent a Notice of Copyright Infringement, dated Aug. 11, to both Trump and his campaign, writing that the estate plans to file a lawsuit over the GOP candidate’s use of the Sam & Dave hit “Hold on, I’m Comin’” at its rallies. Hayes, whose father co-wrote the 1966 classic with David Porter, told THR that by his count, it’s been used 135 times over the past two years without the former president’s office or campaign team ever making a “meaningful effort” to ask for permission or paying to license the soul classic and that their phone calls to Trump’s company and campaign administrators have gone unanswered, he said."
