Actually there have been the guy who’s did rich man north of Richmond has told Harris/walz to stop using his music as well
The fact either party tries to use his song shows how pathetic Both are. It’s an indictment of all of them
Yeah but didn’t she spout some crap about using the royalties for some BS liberal cause as an FU?
this happens every election. Sorry free use.
I saw Isaac Hayes perform the Chocolate Salty Balls song which would be an appropriate song for the Harris campaign to use.

Trump should play the Simpsons karaoke version.
Rush also made a deal with her to make a huge annual donation to her favorite animal rights org. (IIRC)
Public Performance fee paid, suck on it.
Don’t the rights to use recordings become public domain after 50 years?
Isaac Hayes is dead- in 2008. David Porter is 82 and living in Memphis. The two writers were integral in creating Stax Records (now owned by someone else-would take time to research it).
From the 2013 Intellectual Property reform, on “Fair Use”

This song clearly is not generating profit for Trump- merely backdrop to rallies. Imagine how much Trump Organization pays for music in all their properties- quite a bit. So this is pretty much a shakedown from whomever thinks they are “due”. Extortion if you will, which needs to be traced to individuals threatening suit for what is likely a licensed performance by the campaign. Generally, songs played (Lee Greenwood gives permission for “God Bless the USA” for public play— and he therefore is paid performance royalties by network media, not demanding what this “family” seems to be alluding to— and btw, the other writer may not agree to any of this and as such, put the kibosh on the whole scheme).This is a tribute to a great song made huge by Sam & Dave to an entire generation of fans (many quite old).
Incidentally:
There are classic Traditional (US Folk songs, not union organizing commie stuff- real American songs) which could be used as public domain.
Quickest way to determine ownership rights would be the joint page “Songview” project of BMI and ASCAP. Here is the link to the publishers of this tune (what percent is not known. And who in this “family of Isaac Hayes” is covered by what publisher is unknown). Did the search and expanded the current 3 publishers listed by name and address:
You are talking about members of Memphis’ black population. They are grifting, racist, lazy, and criminally violent for the most part.
The MLK family taught them well.
It’s funny how they waited a year to threaten a lawsuit. In the mean time, they’ve likely received large financial benefit, directly and indirectly, from the publicity Trump has given to the song.
For those who have time— there’s a fictional scene from “The Sopranos” on music/ganger types coming to harrass a jewish publisher character (and erstwhile partner of the “crew”) over royalties not paid— to demand way after the fact-reparations. Will not link this- cannot stand, generally anything google is doing and does daily Title on you tub is: “The Sopranos: Massive Genius & His Massive Shakedown!”
Incidentally— the direct link of dope/heroin/coke whatever is intricately woven in this short “story”.
WARNING- lot’s of MF/F this/that & street language-. 3:49 mins of New York/Jersey music biz fiction, that is educational in re: this situation. Democracy being “their” kleptocracy, and street mob mentality.
Always wondered about that— Hynde biotched and moaned about it. Really an iconic song that Limbaugh Inc. paid large royalties for use. Made something of her that was not ever going to be any bigger without it.
I’m getting to the point where I actually hate musicians. They are all a bunch of crybaby azhos. “Waaah!! Waaah! You’re and Anmerican! Don’t sing my song!!!”
Yes: Primary Wave is listed on the link posted by me, name and address of publisher.
The publisher may have an arrangement- but the deal seals the ownership- and their pissing around with rights.
He should use “Hair of the dog”, by Nazareth, especially after surviving their assassination attempt.
True for sure. Come to think of it— Ella Fitzgerald left an 80 million dollar estate— without a will. Amazing.
Bass turds will do anything to steal other people’s money. Damn crybabies are trying everything to get “reparations” for their lazy asses.
