Always liked this song and first heard it through the Paul and George version. This is great - all around and the Jerry Allison fills are wonderful. It swings.
No way! I’ve just been searching for this song under the Everly Brothers! How bizarre ! That being said it makes me now want to research their back catalogue! Just simply love this song ! Did they write it?

Great version. Found out this is a Carole King/Gerry Goffin song. One thing: the Beatles Live at the BBC version does one thing better. On the triplets run at the end they use the V chord which makes more musical sense than this version which stayed on the I chord.
You are right Adam, after leaving New York and Lubbock's Norman Petty they went to California working for the Liberty label. They made an album with Bobby called "Bobby Vee Meets the Crickets" and stayed there for a while and made some pretty good music.
Thanks- I found out this was a goffin /king song later on- but I always remember it as a harrison favorite from the bbc sessions. Check out the Brinsley Schwartz 1973 or so version- they're all great, but it's particularly sweet.
@bveecon On the 1962 version that was released and became a number 5 hit on the British Charts. The song was included on the 1963 album something old, Something New something Else with additional musicians added on the tracks.
This sounds like a song and arrangement that Sid Prosen (a founder of the singers Tom and Jerry) would have used for his substitute (for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel) Tom and Jerry duo.
Can I add something.. The session details for "Don't Ever Change" listed on John Ingman's Crickets Fact File' state vocalists are Jerry Naylor (vocal), Glen Cambell( vocals and . guitar) - Cliff Crofford ( vocals) Jerry Allison (drums)Tommy Allsup (ld guitar) Red Callender (bass) with Ernie Freeman (piano). Recorded 9 March 1962 before Glen Hardin joined the Crickets, Curtis was still in the Army. Allison confirms that Campell was on vocals on CD 'Reminiscing with the Crickets'
A song from the innocent times- simple themes- boy meets girl- boy loses girl- boy gets low- makes up- and all is well! As for the stuff that pollutes the world today- *%*++!!!!!
I heard Glen Campbell being interviewed on radio about 20 years ago and he clearly said he was a session singer on this record. Great record by the way.
@prehistory. This song came from the LP "Something old, Something New, Something Else. The Crickets at that time were Sonny Curtis, JI Allison, Glen Hardin and Jerry Naylor on lead vocals. I called Glen and asked him if anyone else played in this in the sessions and he said just them. Besides the Crickets Glen was also in Thew TCB Band of Elvis Presley and Emmylous Harris's Hot Band
I heard this a few time s on the Beatles channel and a few days ago the announced mentioned the crickets covered it, and I thought “ahh suits greats for buddy’s voice. Gotta check it out” not knowing the timeline of this.
Can we please put a shout out for Carole King & Gerry Goffin ? Twentieth century classical music ! Wrote the soundtrack to so many lives ! ✌️ ♥️ 🎶 ☮️ 🇬🇧
@barrygioportmorien1...Post Buddy Holly Crickets song with Jerry Naylor on lead vocals. This was the Crickets primary line up in the 60's with Jerry Naylor (lead vocals, guitar), Sonny Curtis (vocals, guitar), Jerry Allison (vocals, drums), Glen Hardin (piano). This song was probably their biggest after Buddy and charted well in England in 1964.
ibought this sngle as a lad can you imagine my great pleasure to find it just now that the main singer is no other than glen campbell the best singer ever to grace the airwaves
I remember finding this in my parents record collection when I was around 10 years old, I played and played it still sounds fantastic today 48 years later. I think it was the B side of the single don't remember the other side.
i dont know why you beatle lovers say that the beatles version is better . their version sounds like its been recorded in someones toilet...and i stand by what i said earlier GOFFIN/KING were better songwriters
@giligara30492 That's reason enough for me to not to take the Rolling Stone as my standard for good music........... You don't like the Crickets, I don't like the Beatles, let's leave it at that..
Childhood favourite sing along loved it. Later with Beatles Much later down the Villa singing in the Holte End with my pal Dennis Clark... HEITS GREAT MEMORIES 🎶
Thanks - The album included the straight 45 versions in mono of 4 songs from the groups first 3 Liberty singles -He's Old Enough To Know Btter +Change" + "Liitle Hollywood Girl / Parisian Girl" nothing was added . Glen Hardin / Jerry Naylor / Sonny Curtis and Don Groom did cut versions of the songs in the UK for radio broadcast by the BBC on 10 November 1962. Other tracks cut at the session - Liitle Hollywood Girl / My Little Girl / Peggy Sue. I have a poor quality tape of it.
Hey, no offence taken, just two music lovers trying to get the correct info. But I still disagree, It doesn't sound like Glen Campbell to me, I wouldn't argue that you could have heard him sing it, but I went through all the Crickets biographies on the internet, and no mention of Glen. Barry.
What a lovely haunting song 🎵😍🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
One of their best and have been trying to get a good copy for sometime. This still sounds good.
You never wear a stitch of lace ...
Your powder's never on your face
You're always wearing jeans except on Sunday
So please don't ever change !!
No - no don't you ever change
I kind of like you just the way you are .....
You don't know the latest dance
But when it's time to make romance -
Your kisses let me know you're not a tom-boy !!
So please don't ever change !!
Now don't you ever change
Just promise me you're always going to to be ....
As sweet as you are ....
I love you when you're happy !!
I love you when you're blue !!
I love you when you're mad at me
So how can I get tired of you ...
A lots of other girls I've seen ....
They know how to treat guys mean
But you would rather die than ever hurt me
So please don't ever change
Now don't you ever change
Just promise me you're always going to to be
As sweet as you are -
Please don't ever change
Don't you ever change ........
Please don't ever change
Don't you ever change ......
Love this song, its simplicity, 'how can I get tired of you'?
Trivia time...Glen D. was the piano player in that classic sit-com "Mary Hartman,Mary Hartman"
Always liked this song and first heard it through the Paul and George version. This is great - all around and the Jerry Allison fills are wonderful. It swings.
You are right! Jerry Allison is a magical l ' no thrills' brilliant so underestimated drummer!
Goffin and King
Love this song ♥️
Classic 60s music it take you right back to when I was a kid ❤🇬🇧👍🏼🤗👏
BRILLIANT SO NOSTALGIC FAB X
I agree completely, It is very hard to understand.
Was so me when I was younger lol
I like how the vocal harmonies have a nice Everly Brothers sort of timbre and country twang to them.
Written for Don & Phil, but their m gent turned it down
Always thought was them
Thanks for posting this sweet innocent 50's - 60's song. I love both versions..Beatles and Crickets. Cheers, Shari
Goffin and King
BUDDY HOLLY was listening to HIS Cricket's - from up there in HEAVEN with a smile -
Rest in peace Buddy. 😣
I'm a Beatles fan,,but this Crickets version the best 🎸👍
Goffin and King
Would have suited the Everley Brothers voices.
No way! I’ve just been searching for this song under the Everly Brothers! How bizarre ! That being said it makes me now want to research their back catalogue! Just simply love this song ! Did they write it?
@@nickie5767 It was written in 1961 by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Great song and I love the Paul & George version.
@@epipick I guess you mean the Beatles. Just listened to that one too! Thanks for your reply.
@@nickie5767 Yes but it was George and Paul on lead vocals which was quite unusual.
@@epipick ahhh thanks for the explanation. I’ll check it out! X
[Verse 1]
You never wear a stitch of lace

A Carole King classic. I might have known. Such a well written song!
Great version. Found out this is a Carole King/Gerry Goffin song. One thing: the Beatles Live at the BBC version does one thing better. On the triplets run at the end they use the V chord which makes more musical sense than this version which stayed on the I chord.
I loved this when it first came out.
The Beatles do a much better version on their BBC album.
I had to do Doctorate-level research to find this- and it's simply glorious! Thank you x 100
Sounds more like something the Everly Brothers would have recorded than a Crickets number, but nicely done nonetheless.
You are right Adam, after leaving New York and Lubbock's Norman Petty they went to California working for the Liberty label. They made an album with Bobby called "Bobby Vee Meets the Crickets" and stayed there for a while and made some pretty good music.
well aint that just beautiful,especially when you are 16 years old and you're with the the first love of your life.
Currently my situation. She likes old songs aswell and understands when I make a reference. I hope she never changes.
Thanks- I found out this was a goffin /king song later on- but I always remember it as a harrison favorite from the bbc sessions. Check out the Brinsley Schwartz 1973 or so version- they're all great, but it's particularly sweet.
Made the UK charts in June 1962, reaching No 5. A great song, rarely heard now on Radio.
I just have to come back over and over to listen to this...LOVE IT!!
@bveecon On the 1962 version that was released and became a number 5 hit on the British Charts. The song was included on the 1963 album something old, Something New something Else with additional musicians added on the tracks.
Bought this when it came out. Great record and very popular.
Never knew this was their song and how good they were without Buddy 😯
I think it was number one hit in the uk charts it was a travesty the crickets never had more mainstream success after the split from buddy holly.
This sounds like a song and arrangement that Sid Prosen (a founder of the singers Tom and Jerry) would have used for his substitute (for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel) Tom and Jerry duo.
Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. This should have been a big hit.
The marvellous Crickets! A great record that is timeless! Such happy memories.
Can I add something.. The session details for "Don't Ever Change" listed on John Ingman's Crickets Fact File' state vocalists are Jerry Naylor (vocal), Glen Cambell( vocals and . guitar) - Cliff Crofford ( vocals) Jerry Allison (drums)Tommy Allsup (ld guitar) Red Callender (bass) with Ernie Freeman (piano).

Just great!

how can anyone get tired of this song sheer class
I heard Glen Campbell being interviewed on radio about 20 years ago and he clearly said he was a session singer on this record.
Great record by the way.
I like the way the Beatles changed the piano part into a guitar part but otherwise, the Crickets original is better than the Beatles version.
James Banner the same actually.
Beautiful! First time I heard the song was when I got Bryan Ferry´s first solo album These Foolish Things 1973. He does it great too!
Buddy Holly &!the crickets where here first ps missed them in Hull in 1950’s too young
@prehistory. This song came from the LP "Something old, Something New, Something Else. The Crickets at that time were Sonny Curtis, JI Allison, Glen Hardin and Jerry Naylor on lead vocals. I called Glen and asked him if anyone else played in this in the sessions and he said just them. Besides the Crickets Glen was also in Thew TCB Band of Elvis Presley and Emmylous Harris's Hot Band
VERY GREAT!! Bill and boyd from Kiwiville do an awesome version too!!
Excellent
Great song.
Three vocalists on the one. Jerry Naylor is the lead with Glen Campbell and Cliff Crofford backing
Great record! Buddy would have been perfect singing this record. I still grieve over his death!
I heard this a few time s on the Beatles channel and a few days ago the announced mentioned the crickets covered it, and I thought “ahh suits greats for buddy’s voice. Gotta check it out” not knowing the timeline of this.
Me true love ways
Buddy Holly & The crickets please dont
Ever Change stay 16 forever 😅
I’ve read that Glenn Campbell is singing harmony on this classic. Who is singing the lead vocals?
The Crickets never achieved the same fame after Buddy passed away. R.I.P Joe Benson Mauldin……!
I’ll never stop loving this xxxx
wow .... post the sad passing away of buddy holly..... what a great great song ..... a befiitkk in my awesome track to pay homage to buddy x
Can we please put a shout out for Carole King & Gerry Goffin ? Twentieth century classical music ! Wrote the soundtrack to so many lives ! ✌️ ♥️ 🎶 ☮️ 🇬🇧
I am with you there, a great duo.
BRILLIANT😍😍😍

Thanks, Interesting info.........
I loved this as a kid at school in 1959. Only thing annoys me is them singing lurve instead of love.
ibought this sngle as a lad can you imagine my great pleasure to find it just now that the main singer is no other than glen campbell the best singer ever to grace the airwaves
childhood favourite song. just a solid gold memory,
Wonderful!
@jinkybhoy123
Oh what a joke.
I remember finding this in my parents record collection when I was around 10 years old, I played and played it still sounds fantastic today 48 years later. I think it was the B side of the single don't remember the other side.
Peaked at #5 in U.K. on 2 August 1962
i dont know why you beatle lovers say that the beatles version is better . their version sounds like its been recorded in someones toilet...and i stand by what i said earlier GOFFIN/KING were better songwriters
We're comparing a fully produced released version of a song to a demo? Brilliant!!
is that Bobby Vee at 0:41 ???
+adam Hutchins Yes it is.
very good melody words and good memorys
Amen to that.
The music lives on no true love ways even every day with a typewriter The Soulmaster
@giligara30492
That's reason enough for me to not to take the Rolling Stone as my standard for good music........... You don't like the Crickets, I don't like the Beatles, let's leave it at that..
That's your opinion.
Buddy Holly smiling from Heaven
This is a great song but i can’t help to think that it would have been better if buddy was around to sing it
One of the best.
Love this song!
Childhood favourite sing along loved it.
Later with Beatles
Much later down the Villa singing in the Holte End with my pal Dennis Clark... HEITS
GREAT MEMORIES 🎶
A wonderful loving tune
i like the cricket also the beatles version of this song
Very beautiful harmony!!
All so wonderful great
nice one :)
thank you... got a reference for that ... there should be a lot more info about these songs there if it's a website :)
again, thanks :)
Beauty ORIGINAL version !
Fantastic even today they all died Buddy Eddie and the big bopper I’m 1959 in a plane crash
A sad day for us music lovers.
Another nice Carole King /Gerry Goffin tune from the early 60's. They really knew how to connect to people.
The Beatles covered this song at their radio sessions at The BBC.
Yes. We know.
Unfortunately.
Love this song.
Yes, great song, Jambo.
(Mon the Hibees! LOL)
No the beatles cover is better
Excuse me while I cry a river
Not only did the Beatles rate this "Goffin/King" song, they were huge "Cricket" fans also.
I really like this song
@bluestr55k
That's your opinion.

@MrRyantheRover
Thanks for the nice comment, it makes it all worth while.
Such a lovely song ❤️
does anybody know the chords for this song?, cant find a tab anywhere
how sad music generation nowadays
At least most of this generation can type better than you.
@bveecon
Thanks, that's interesting and informative, there has been a lot of question about the lead singers for awhile now.
Weren`t they the ones!!! Still are..........
If buddy holly was here the crickets would make way major hits than they did
R.I.P buddy holly.
Please don't ever stop includeing this on you list Colin white
