The Whiffenpoof Song
The Board of Directors Annual Report is an album by vocal group The Mills Brothers with pianist and bandleader Count Basie and His Orchestra featuring performances recorded in 1968 and released on the Dot label.[1][2] The album follows Basie's 1967 collaboration with The Mills Brothers The Board of Directors.
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "As usual, it's the supposedly timely material that sounds dated, while the old favorites remain timeless. Nevertheless, this is an excellent match-up that should have been tried earlier and more often".[3]
