"Tracy" is a song written by Lee Pockriss and Paul Vance, the title track of the Cuff Links debut LP.

The single was released in 1969 by The Cuff Links and featured Ron Dante on vocals. Dante recalled recording the vocals for "Tracy" stating, "I put on a lead voice, doubled it a few times, and then put about 16, 18 backgrounds."

The song spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 9, while reaching No. 5 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart, No. 4 on Record World's "100 Top Pops", No. 5 on the Cash Box Top 100, No. 1 on Canada's RPM 100, No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 4 on New Zealand's NZ Listener chart, and No. 9 on Australia's Go-Set chart.

Ron Dante (born Carmine John Granito; August 22, 1945) is an American singer, songwriter, session vocalist, and record producer. Dante is best known as the real life lead singer of the fictional cartoon band the Archies; he was also the voice of the Cuff Links and co-produced Barry Manilow's first nine albums.

Carmine John Granito was born on August 22, 1945, to an Italian-American family in Staten Island, New York, United States.

Dante was a member of the parody group the Detergents around 1965. The group recorded a novelty song called "Leader of the Laundromat", although Dante was not on that recording.

He became lead singer of the fictional cartoon band The Archies, whose single "Sugar, Sugar", written and composed by producer Jeff Barry with Andy Kim, was the number-one selling record of 1969 in the United States. Concurrent with his work on the Archies project, Dante was also employed as a session singer and performed many television and commercial jingles.

In 1969, Dante recorded an album under the group name of the Cuff Links – a collaboration with Detergents songwriter-producers Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss. He provided both lead and background vocals through overdubbing, as he did with most of the male Archies vocals. For three weeks in October 1969, Dante had two hits in the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot 100: both the Cuff Links' "Tracy" and, on its way down from number one, the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar", though neither single's label credited the anonymous studio singer. Dante's extensive vocal range includes falsetto, as used in "Jingle Jangle", the Archies' Top Ten follow-up to "Sugar, Sugar".

Tracy is a fabulous old pop song.

Enjoy.
