About The Cuff Links
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
The Cuff Links name is associated with studio pop featuring Ron Dante, also known as the lead voice of the Archies. Songwriters and producers Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss supplied Tracy, which established the project's international audience. Rupert Holmes contributed to the resulting album, whose repertoire included When Julie Comes Around and covers of contemporary pop songs. Later Decca singles used vocalist Joey Cord, making the recording history broader than a single unchanging lineup.
