The Cuff Links

The Cuff Links (also known as Cufflinks) were an American rock/pop studio group from Staten Island, New York, United States.

The track was produced as part of a series of recording sessions – sometimes as many as six in a day – by Dante, with the songs released under a variety of band names.

Previous Vance/Pockriss credits included writing the hits "Catch a Falling Star" (1958) and "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini" (1960).

In 1969, they had hired Dante to sing lead on singles for the ostensible 'groups' The Two Dollar Question (who issued "Aunt Mathilda's Double Yummy Blow Your Mind Out Brownies" in May) and Abrahamm And Strauss (whose "Lay A Little Love On Me" appeared the same month.)

"[2] To speed the project, Vance and Pockriss hired novice arranger Rupert Holmes to work on the album, which was also titled Tracy and included the second hit, "When Julie Comes Around," which peaked at No.

[6] As the album was being completed, Vance and Pockriss created a seven-member touring band, comprising Pat Rizzo (saxophone), Rich Dimino (keyboards), Bob Gill (trumpet/flugelhorn/flute), Dave Lavender (guitar), Andrew "Junior" Denno (bass), Joe Cord (vocals) and Danny Valentine (drums).

[2] For the second Cuff Links album, Vance and Pockriss remained as producers, and vocals were split between Joey Cord and Rupert Holmes.

In 1999, singer-songwriter Michael "Valentine" Ubriaco obtained the touring rights to the Cuff Links name, and revived the group for live performances.
