Isaac Hayesa in 1973The family of Isaac Hayes is threatening to sue former President Donald Trump over his use of the track "Hold On, I'm Comin'" at rallies.

Hayes' son, Isaac Hayes III, shared a copy of a copyright infringement notice, filed by lawyer James Walker and issued to Trump, demanding his campaign pay $3 million in licensing fees. "Hold On, I'm Comin'" was performed by soul duo Sam & Dave and written by Hayes and David Porter.

Hayes died Aug. 10, 2008, 16 years ago Saturday.

"Donald Trump epitomizes a lack of integrity and class, not only through his continuous use of my father's music without permission but also through his history of sexual abuse against women and his racist rhetoric," Hayes III first wrote on Instagram Saturday. "This behavior will no longer be tolerated, and we will take swift action to put an end to it."
