Johnson had previously sung with a doo-wop group called the Genies, who reached #71 on the Billboard pop charts in 1959 with "Who's That Knockin'" on the Shad label. (Contrary to doo-wop lore, Trone was never with the Genies.)

Don & Juan's sole top 40 hit was "What's Your Name" on Big Top Records, which climbed to #7 on the Billboard pop charts in 1962.

Roland Trone died in May 1982 at age 45; Claude Johnson died on October 31, 2002, at age 67.

Their hit "What's Your Name" was featured on the soundtrack of It Came from Hollywood in 1982. It is considered one of the signature classics of the doo-wop vocal style. This song was recently nominated to the Doo-Wop Hall of Fame.

In the 1998 film Slam, there is a brief scene where two police officers are driving while arguing over the lyrics to "What's Your Name"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Why you insecure of my presence
They call me Don Juan you can me da Vinci
Cause I am a motherfuckin' legend
I pick her up
Put her in different positions
You know she In love with my essence
You putting yo all in a hoe that don’t even love you
That is no good investment
It’s okay I'm a bring her wit me
She a vegan but she want some meat
They say don’t bring no sand to the beach
But she love when I play in her sea
She gone sit on my face like a seat
And I had yo bitch gripping sheets
And I treat her like Xbox
She like why is you playing wit me
But you hide yo phone when you laying wit me
You is not savage yeah
All of these bitches is average yeah
You went and showed me yo talents yeah
I broke yo heart for a balance yeah
These niggas they weak at rapping
Boy you just acting
You not a challenge yeah
I was just gassing yo bitch up
And I gave her way more than a gallon yeah
Now she late night Jimmy Fallon
I’m down her alley

Fuck wit my family
I get that k like I’m ray bitch I’m shooting like Allen yeah
Gave my heart to you
I thought you would never leave me
Now I don’t got no heart for these bitches
When they need me
Just want them to please me
She blessed me like I’m sneezing
You told me one lie
And since then
I don’t do believing
Girl I made you cum way more than once
It was reliving
Aye
Looks are deceiving cause I know she still need me
But can’t no one touch me yeah
I don’t fuck wit dusties yeah
And these niggas still mad
Cause I fucked the girl of they dreams
She had river in between
You know what I mean
I turned girl to a fein
Heart cold like December
She was just a summer fling
Kicked that bitch off of my team
I know her desire is me
Aye
Why you insecure of my presence
They call me Don Juan you can me da Vinci
Cause I am a motherfuckin' legend
I pick her up
Put her in different positions
You know she In love with my essence
You putting yo all in a hoe that don’t even love you
That is no good investment
It’s okay I can bring her wit' me
Piccolo yeah my pockets is green
Me and her we like Adam and Eve
Cause she fucked wit serpents
And it’s still hurting
Victory Lane nigga why is you swerving
Look yo curves

I’m laying wood on her just like a forest
Dick had her running
Gump like Forrest
Got her wet like Seattle
I am a tourist
I cannot fuck with these bitches they boring
Like I am Chris Brown
If it ain’t next to you
I don’t wanna wake up in the morning
I need a bad bitch but she gotta be foreign
So she can fuck me in a foreign
I am so love sick
Sometimes I can’t sleep at night
Cause I be tossing and turning
I built these bridges just to re-burn em
I’m spitting hot shit just like I’m a furnace

And yes I’m still learning
I had to separate all my energy
From all these niggas
Cause all of em corny

I say all of em corny yeah
All of em corny
You only hit me up when you get horny yeah
Aye
Why you insecure of my presence
They call me Don Juan

1962..........What's your name? I have seen you before
What's your name? May I walk you to your door?
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ee

What's your name? Is it Mary or Sue?
What's your name? Do I stand a chance with you?
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee

I stood on this corner waiting for you to come along
So my heart could feel satisf-i-ied
So please let me be your Number One
Under the moon, under the stars, and under the sun

Oh-oh, what's your name? (what's your name?) Is it Mary or Sue?
What's your name? Do I stand a chance with you?
It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me
Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee

What's your name?
What's your name?

Shooby-doo-bop-bah-dah!!.............1962

Its sad that the late 50's-early 60's had to end. We just dont make music,cars,movies,anything like we used to anymore. This was music at its finest hour.

@lipsticklover34

Today's music, movies suck! I keep this music by playing it all, like it or not! I'm 53 but mom was in a band so she got us started in listening to doo woop & the blues!❤

@mariluaguilar5749

My sister just passed away. ♥ We were 15 months apart in age. She was 73. This was our signature song at family gatherings and we even sang it at a public event. She did the melody and I the harmony. My mom and two younger sisters loved listening to us sing this great song with our spontaneous "moves." This song will always be special to our family.

@davidhidayat2392

Hi Marilu, today is the first time for me to listen to this song. I started to like listening to old songs. I just immigrated to the US a few years ago. English is not my language. I am headed to late 60. Nice to know how this song will always be special to your family. So, my name is David Hidayat :)

Pure talent ,, no need for background fireworks,, no auto tune,, did not have to be half naked and did not have to "twerk" to sell great records, this is pure talent. I thank God I grew up back then.
