Hold On, I'm Comin' (song)

I'm a Comin'")[3] is a song first recorded in 1966 by soul duo Sam & Dave, issued in the same year on the Atlantic-distributed Stax label.

It was written by the songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, who came up with the title of the song spontaneously when Hayes was trying to get Porter to hurry out of the Stax Studios restroom and get back to songwriting.

[4] Following the instrumental introduction, Sam Moore sings the first verse and is joined by Dave Prater for the chorus.

The introduction is repeated in the chorus, with both Sam and Dave singing until the song fades out.

A revamped version of the song, "Hold On, Edwin's Coming", was recorded by Sam & Dave as a promotional single for Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards' third election campaign in 1982.
