• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Bit of a blank canvas for replies on this topic , but , for total extremes check out

The Stranglers doing " Walk On By " the Burt Bacaharach / Hal David composition made famous by Dusty Springfield , they take it to a new and very different level .

Sorry , cannot download from YouTube , behind the times on doing them tasks .

Dusty Springfield? Not sure about that. The song was written for Dionne Warwick and was a top 10 hit in UK and US in 1964. A lot of people have covered it since with differing degrees of success but I don't think Dusty was one of them. Stranglers version is excellent though.
Yes , I stand corrected , the original version was , and the one I recall was done by Dionne Warwick.
