Dean and Jean was the recording name for Welton Young and Brenda Lee Jones. It's not clear what brought them together, but both had already made separate recordings. Young had been a singer and guitarist for the Dayton R&B group the King Toppers, while Brenda's debut was a 45 under her own name. The duo was named "Dean and Jean" by their manager C. J. McLin. Together, their career had a slow start. Their 1st 45, "We're Gonna Get Married" on the Ember label from NYC got some action, but not enough to be a national hit. The song's subject matter was the basis for most of their later 45s, as they traded off lyric verses in a manner that suggested they were a dating couple.
