country superstar Sammy Sadler. Who continues to honor the legacy of ’80s and ’90s country with the release of his latest single, “If I Had A Cheating Heart.” Originally a Top 10 hit for Mel Street in 1978, the song was later re-recorded by Ricky Lynn Gregg in 1993, reaching the Top 40. Written by Wayland Holyfield and Al Turney, “If I Had a Cheating Heart” has become a favorite among country traditionalists.

Sammy Sadler’s take on the classic track proves that his timeless style continues to resonate with fans of authentic country music. With a career shaped by determination and raw talent, Sammy Sadler has carved out a story all his own in Nashville.

He first gained national attention in 1989 with his charting rendition of Aaron Neville’s “Tell It Like It Is,” followed by “You Made It Easy.” But his momentum was cut short when he was seriously wounded in the same shooting that took the life of Cash Box chart director Kevin Hughes—an incident that became known as the “Murder on Music Row.”

But Sammy Sadler is excited to be doing select shows with singer-songwriter Dave Gibson on their ‘Hits & History Tour. #countrymusic #countrymusiclover #countryradio #musicrow
