The Cuff Links

The Cuff Links, c. 1970

The Cuff Links (also known as Cufflinks) were an American rock/pop studio group from Staten Island, New York, United States. The ostensible band had a US No. 9 hit in 1969[1] with "Tracy", with rich harmonized vocals provided entirely by Ron Dante. 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.[2] Dante left the act after their first album; on later singles vocals were provided by Joey Cord and/or Rupert Holmes.
