"World of Make Believe" is a 1973 single by Bill Anderson.
"World of Make Believe" was Bill Anderson's last number one as a solo artist.
An earlier version of the song is credited to Battiste (Kevin 104, released in 1962, from Mobile, Alabama).
The original version was probably from 1959 or earlier, when the song was recorded in 1959 by Willie Loftin & the Discords and by Johnny Bragg.
Like Battiste, Loftin's record label, Smoke, is from Mobile, Alabama.
