The Cuff Links were a creation of Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss, who wrote and produced the group’s material, hired musicians to sing and play it, and controlled the group’s name.
Vocals for their hits Tracy and When Julie Comes Around were provided by Ron Dante, who was also the real life lead singer of the fictional cartoon band The Archies. Ron also co-produced Barry Manilow’s first nine albums.

Lyrics:
A poem with no rhyme
A clock without time
A ship without sails just drifting on the water
That′s just how I feel
Whenever she’s gone
That′s just how I feel, my life’s unreal, but I go on (and on and on)
