Whisperin' Bill Anderson is one of the most recognizable and honored talents in Country Music History.  In addition to his own hits, he's represented Country Music with great pride as a popular television personality and the writer of so many hit songs.

When Ray Price recorded 'City Lights' he gave a 22 year-old aspiring songwriter the big break he needed to make it in Country Music. A young Bill Anderson was lucky to have his song recorded by one of the hottest artists in Country Music at the time.  Now, 53 years after his first songwriting success, Bill Anderson is still having songs cut by the hottest artists in Country Music!  We hope you enjoy just a small sample of a list that could easily be expanded to include dozens more Bill Anderson compositions.
