Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson was born into a middle class family November 1, 1937, in Columbia, South Carolina. Raised in Georgia, he began his music career as a disc jockey while working toward a degree in broadcast journalism at the University of Georgia. Bill began writing songs as a hobby and the doors in Nashville opened for him when he wrote City Lights, which became a number one hit for Ray Price. His recording success came in 1962 with two number one hits: Still and Mama Sang a Song. His sophisticated, classic style earned him the nickname Whisperin' Bill. His education came to use in Nashville as Bill hosted radio and television shows and owned several radio stations. With an ear for talent he was responsible for bringing several stars to country music, including discovering Connie Smith and writing many of her hit songs, including Once a Day. His career has expanded over 40 years, from the 60's to his 1989 number one song, If Tomorrow Never Comes, to Whiskey Lullaby, the smash hit he wrote with Jon Randall in 2004. Whiskey Lullaby was performed by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss and won the award for CMA Song of the Year in 2005.
