"Time of the Season"

I recently listened to a compilation album of Ray Charles and noticed the lines "Well, tell me, baby, what is your name" in "Kissa Me Baby" and "Well, now, baby, tell me what is your name" in "Jumpin' in the Morning."  Both of these have some resemblance to "What's your name" in "Time of the Season."  Rod Argent has mentioned Charles in a number of interviews, so I think this might be a bit of his influence, even if subconsciously.
