Donald Trump Has to Stop Playing ‘Hold On, I’m Coming’ at Rallies, Judge Rules

Donald Trump will have to stop playing 'Hold On, I'm Coming' at his rallies following a lawsuit brought by the estate of co-writer, Isaac Hayes.

Federal Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. handed down the ruling at a hearing Tuesday, Sept. 3, saying, “I do order Trump and his campaign to not use the song without proper license” (via CNN). At the same press conference, the Hayes estate’s lawyer, James Walker, did note that today’s ruling was only preliminary and the case is still slated to head to trial. Trump has been using “Hold On, I’m Coming” — written by Hayes and David Porter, and popularized by Sam & Dave — at his rallies for years.
