Binding items to listbox adds them vertically

I have a question. When Binding items to a ListBox it adds them vertically. For example where ItemsSource = "{Binding Path = Name}", and Name is Bill, I get the output in ListBox for each char in on line (like this: B\ni\nl\nl). Where am I doing wrong?

XAML:

<Window x:Class="ObservableColl.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Grid>
        <ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="244" Margin="313,28,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="177" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Name}"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

C#:

    class Customer
    {
        public string Name{get; set;}
    }

    class Customers
    {
        public ObservableCollection<Customer> customerOC{get; set;}
        public Customers()
        {
            customerOC = new ObservableCollection<Customer>();
        }
        public void AddCustomer(Customer c)
        {
             customerOC.Add(c);
        }
    }

public partial class MainWindow:Window
{
    Customers customers{get; set;}
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        customers = new Customers();

        customers.AddCustomer(new Customer(){Name = "Frank"});

        this.DataContext = customers;
    }
}

Your DataContext is set to customers. The ItemsSource should be set to the ObservableCollection and DisplayMemberPath is for showing the right property of your Customer.

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding customerOC}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" />
