By Bob Cronin, Newser.AI | The estate of singer and songwriter Isaac Hayes has dropped its copyright lawsuit against President Trump and his campaign after reaching a settlement over the use of the 1966 soul hit “Hold On, I’m Coming” at political rallies. The estate sued in 2024, arguing that Trump personally chose the track and that it was played at events at least 133 times without authorization. The complaint also said the campaign used the song in videos that were recorded and shared despite objections from Hayes’ heirs. Terms of the settlement were not released, Rolling Stone reports; the estate had previously sought $3 million in damages.
Hayes, who died in 2008, cowrote, recorded, and released the Stax Records classic song with Sam & Dave. . . .
