On Friday 1 November 2024, Gene Watson extended a ‘Happy Birthday’ to Bill Anderson, one of the true great singer/songwriters within the genre of country music, on the occasion of his 87th birthday.
‘Help me wish a very ‘Happy Birthday’ to one of the true greats of our business – Bill Anderson.
Bill was born in 1937 in Columbia, South Carolina.
I believe he’s had more songs in the category of ‘Greatest Country Hits of All Time’ than any other.
He’s a singer/songwriter/TV host/journalist, and member of the Grand Ole Opry!’
