1969 single by the Cuff Links From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"When Julie Comes Around" is a song written by Lee Pockriss and Paul Vance. It was first released as "When Joey Comes Around" by Tasha Thomas in July 1969, and produced by Pockriss and Vance in a slightly soul-ish arrangement. This version failed to chart.[2] The song is best known for the version by the Cuff Links, also produced by Pockriss and Vance in a different pop-oriented arrangement (with strings arranged by Rupert Holmes). Released in November 1969, the Cuff Links' recording of the song peaked at number 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.[3][4]

The Cuff Links released "When Julie Comes Around" as the follow-up to their international debut hit "Tracy". Featuring Ron Dante on multi-tracked vocals, it was released with the B-side "Sally Ann (You're Such a Pretty Baby)", also written by Pockriss and Vance.[5] Despite being released in North America in November 1969, the single was not released in the Europe until February 1970.[6]
In Cash Box, it was described as "a glittery ballad enhanced by non-intrusive rhythmic electricity and a catchy production flavoring to spice up the overall action".[7] Billboard wrote that "this powerful follow-up is sure to repeat its success".[8]
