Muskegon, Michigan’s Betty LaVette recorded “You’ll Never Change” in
1963 and “Let Me Down Easy” in 1965. Though both songs are about
heartbreak and even share some similar lyrics, it would be a shame to post
one without the other. “You’ll Never Change” features a poppier sound,
some memorable backing vocals, and the defiant tone of a one-sided
argument. “Let Me Down Easy” is the other side of that argument--a
solitary lament--and evokes genuine vulnerability with a raw vocal
performance backed by haunting strings.
