I love Sonny's version of "What's My Name?" Great tune, somewhat akin to "Old Devil Moon." As was often the case for him at this time, the way he resolves things has a Beethoven-ian sense of release and finality.

"What's My Name?" was co-written, with Robert Saxton, by Robert Wells, who also co-wrote (with Mel Torme) "The Christmas Song" and "Born To Be Blue," and "When Joanna Loved Me," with Jack Segal. I wonder, what, if anything, "What's My Name?" was written for. It doesn't sound like a stand-alone pop song.
