He also has been credited as a television personality and author. As a songwriter, his compositions have been covered by various music artists since the late 1950s, including Ray Price and George Strait. As a singer, his soft-spoken singing voice was given the nickname "Whispering Bill" by music critics and writers.Anderson was raised in Decatur, Georgia and began composing songs while in high school. While enrolled in college, he wrote the song "City Lights," which later became a major hit for Ray Price in 1958. His songwriting led to his first recording contract with Decca Records the same year. Anderson began having major hits shortly thereafter. In 1963, he had released his most successful single in his recording career, "Still." The song became a major country pop crossover hit and was followed by a series of top ten hits. These songs included "I Love You Drops," "I Get the Fever" and "Wild Week-End." His songs were being notably recorded by other artists. In 1964, Connie Smith had her first major hit with his composition "Once a Day."

Songs including "Love Is a Sometimes Thing," "All the Lonely Women in the World" and "World of Make Believe" became major hits. As the decade progressed his style moved towards the Countrypolitan sub-genre of country music, with songs such as "I Can't Wait Any Longer."
