An Atlanta federal judge decided on Tuesday that Donald Trump and his presidential campaign are no longer allowed to feature Isaac Hayes’ song “Hold On, I’m Comin.'” during events.

This decision came about a month after Hayes’ family threatened legal action against Trump for using the song at rallies. The song was co-written by Hayes and was originally performed by the soul duo Sam & Dave.

Isaac Hayes III, the musician’s son, shared on X, “Today, our family received an injunction preventing @realdonaldtrump from using @IsaacHayes3 music again. We are happy with the court’s ruling and are ready for the next steps in our lawsuit.”

Previously, Hayes III had posted a copyright infringement notice on social media, indicating that lawyer James Walker had sent Trump a demand for $3 million in licensing fees. The family was contemplating filing 134 counts of copyright infringement due to the “unauthorized use of the song” at campaign rallies over the past two years.

The legal notice also required the Trump campaign to take down videos that include the song and issue a public statement, or risk facing “further legal action.”

Judge Thomas W. Thrash Jr. approved the Hayes estate’s request to stop Trump’s usage of the song, but reportedly rejected the estate’s call to remove previously recorded instances of the song from the campaign, as per CNN and the Associated Press.

After the hearing, Trump’s lawyer Ronald Coleman noted that the legal team was satisfied with the judge’s ruling concerning the past usage of the song. He also mentioned that the campaign had agreed to refrain from further use of the track.

“Our campaign intends to avoid disturbing or upsetting anyone, and if the Hayes family feels disrespected, that’s understandable. We won’t press the issue,” Coleman said, according to CNN and AP.

Following the judge’s ruling, Hayes’ son expressed gratitude, stating he was “very thankful and pleased,” according to AP.

“I hope this stands as a chance for other musicians to step forward who don’t want their music used by Donald Trump or any political entities, continuing to advocate for the rights and copyrights of music artists,” he said, as reported by the outlet.

The motion from the Hayes family against Trump’s campaign is categorized as a preliminary injunction in the case, according to the U.S. District Court Northern District of Georgia website. Information about future hearings is not yet available.

Hayes passed away on August 10, 2008. He co-wrote “Hold On, I’m Comin,'” released in 1966, alongside David Porter. This soul-pop classic has been covered by artists including Aretha Franklin, Waylon Jennings, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and Tina Turner.

The selection of songs available for Trump at his rallies is gradually diminishing.

The family of Hayes is part of an extensive list of individuals and estates requesting that Trump discontinue the use of their music at rallies. This list includes Sinéad O’Connor’s estate, Prince’s estate, guitarist Johnny Marr of The Smiths, Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco, and the family of Tom Petty.
