The Reflections are an American blue-eyed soul/doo-wop group from Detroit, Michigan, United States. [1] They had one hit single in 1964 called "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet", written by Bob Hamilton and Freddie Gorman. [2] The song was produced by Rob Reeco on Golden World Records. [1] The disc reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, [1] and number 9 on the Cash Box chart. The record was even more popular in rhythm and blues locations, reaching number 3 on that Cashbox chart, and was featured on American Bandstand as a "spotlight dance". [3] A cover version by new wave band Mental As Anything hit number 27 on the Australian charts in 1980. [4]
"(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" and "Adam and Eve" were popular on the Northern soul scene. [5] After a few more records that were moderate successes on the national charts, Ray Steinberg left the group for other interests. As a foursome, The Reflections continued recording and making TV appearances. In 1965, they made their one and only movie appearance in Winter-A-Go-Go, performing "I'm Sweet On You". They were signed to the same Detroit R&B label as their blue-eyed soul peers, The Flaming Ember and The Shades Of Blue. [6]
