Anderson was inspired to pen the single after watching his longtime girlfriend, Vickie, bravely face a cancer diagnosis. The poignant, beautiful tune brings a message of hope and is a testament to anyone who’s facing a challenge in their life. Anderson and Vickie are featured in the video which comes fresh off the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame announcing Anderson’s induction this June.



“When a very special lady in my life had been unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer I was searching for words with which to encourage and comfort her,” said Anderson. “When the words wouldn't come, I realized that throughout my life I have always expressed my feelings the best when I've set them to music. So, I got my guitar, strummed a few chords, and began to write.”



Whisperin’ Bill Anderson is donating proceeds/royalties from “Until The Light Comes On Again” to benefit the Sarah Cannon Fund at The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. The Sarah Cannon Fund was established to provide support to people facing cancer. The Fund works with a variety of programs and organizations that help those affected by cancer navigate the journey from diagnosis through survivorship.



The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee exists to promote and facilitate giving in the 40 counties of Middle Tennessee and beyond. It does this by accepting gifts of any size from any time and by empowering individuals, families, companies, nonprofits and communities to respond to needs and opportunities that matter. The Community Foundation works with people who have great hearts, whether or not they have great wealth, to craft solutions that reflect their intentions and goals.

He has released more than 40 studio albums, seven No. 1 singles and 29 Top 10 singles, and is a six-time Songwriter Of the Year award-winner. As a Grand Ole Opry member for more than 50 years and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame since 2001, Anderson is one of the most decorated songwriters and performers in country music history -- and an UNPRECEDENTED one at that, having earned the distinction of having an entry on the Country charts for seven consecutive decades – a record held by no other songwriter in history. His penned hits include "Whiskey Lullaby," (Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss), "A Lot Of Things Different," (Kenny Chesney), "Give It Away,” (George Strait), and his latest, “Country” (Mo Pitney), among others.

At age 23, he became the youngest writer to be named Country Songwriter of the Year by BMI – a record only beat by 21-year-old Taylor Swift. In 2002, he was the first recipient of the prestigious BMI Icon Award. UNPRECEDENTED not only as a songwriter, but also a radio and television host, Anderson has starred on "ABC’s The Better Sex," "Fandango," "Country’s Family Reunion," "Larry’s Country Diner," and hosted radio shows as well as the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
