Not a lot on the web that I find........He was born in Hartwell, Georgia on July 3, 1881. Hartwell is on the South carolina border and he seems to have lived a good part of his life in and around Spartanburg, South Carolina which is just a few miles to the north. He died on January 17, 1961 of heart disease (musician--big shock). Also the following mention from another site:

A member of Spartanburg's first platinum group, the Marshall Tucker Band, when asked about the musical history of Spartanburg, said, "Man, there isn't any." And while Spartanburg might not be on everybody's list of musical must-visit destinations, Cooper's narrative, besides the above-mentioned Tucker Band, includes Piedmont songster Pink Anderson, whose mentor, Blind Simmie Dooley, also lived in Spartanburg.

The album they recorded together seems to be from 1928 and recorded in Atlanta.

That's about it for now, I'll keep looking.
