• 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

Posted in the On this Day thread earlier, tragic. As you said, wonderful voice.
 
I saw her once. Chip off the old block she was.
Used every grain of energy and not a plane vocalist like some rotten critics said. She never was a bore, well drilled.

Treemendous singer. Very poplar. Looked good when spruced up.

Dickie and J_B you’ve got it wrong. You must be thinking of Karen Carpunter.
 
She was also a very talented drummer too. If it was up to her she would have stayed behind the kit, but management had other ideas.
 
They didn't write most of the songs themselves, the brother was brilliant at arrangement of the cover versions and she had a unique voice

Richard Carpenter was also a massive fan of the "over rated dopehead" Frank Zappa..
