Read Full Bio ↴At least four bands have performed under the moniker The Reflections:
1. A New York City vocal soul group formed in 1971.
They also served as Melba Moore's background vocalists during a 1972 tour.
In 1971, Melba was preparing for a tour and required some singers for a Gospel section of her act.
What began as a two and a half week run, developed into a three-and-a-half-year tour.
They recorded for Capitol in the mid-'70's, and made one chart number, 'Three Steps from True Love,' in 1975. It was their lone Top Ten R & B hit.
The track was taken from their album 'Love on Delivery', which was produced by J.R. Bailey. The Executive Producer was Larkin Arnold.
Also contained, on that album, is the track 'She's My Summer Breeze', popular on the UK rare groove scene.
2. The Reflections were also a Pop-Rock/Blue-Eyed Soul group in the early-to-mid 1960s from Detroit, Michigan.
They had one major hit single in 1964 called "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet", written by Bob Hamilton and Fred Gorman. The song was produced by Rob Reeco on Golden World Records. The disc reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #9 on the Cash Box magazine chart.
3. A UK DIY post punk supergroup and easily one of the rarest titles issued by Cherry Red. The assemblage culls together personnel from Alternative TV (Mark Perry, Dennis Burns), The Lemon Kittens (Karl Blake) and The Door and the Window (Nag). They released an LP titled Slugs N Toads in 1981.
4. A one-time Louisiana group from 1971, promoted by their original label RSVP as "a five-piece band with only two people in it"--Allis Murray and Harold Collins. Their Unique Sounds of the Reflections album featured an instrumental surf-rock rendition of The Beatles' standard, "Eleanor Rigby".

This has to be the #1 "If It Worked the First Time Around....Rerecord something VERY Similar & Cross Your Fingers That It Will Work Again" song ever recorded! :--)
Richard Ranke
When I first heard this on the radio, the DJ said,"Gee, this sounds just like,'Romeo and Juliet'"
Tony Russi
although the lyrics are pretty good. I remember hearing this on Miami POP radio at the time.

Well I've never heard a second single sound so much like a first single! Wow!

The still very much (as of 2019) active Reflections have about twenty great singles to their credit, most notably the monster classic working stiffs' anthem, Poor Man's Son (1965), Deborah Ann and Shabby Little Hut. Any carping about "this sounds like a sideways version of their obvious single" suggests more than anything a perspective that lets radio dictate their taste for them (for free), rather than making a little effort and seeking out that which has been there all along for more than a half century.

great song!!!!!!!!!!!
John Vandehey
Of course like Romeo & Juliet, only BETTER! Super sound. Watch the Bandstand kids do a 'spotlight' dance to Romeo & Juliet on a different YouTube . Excellent. People & attitudes back in the 60s were far better than the 'in your face' stuff of today. So was the music. "Gonna find a girl, gonna build a new world'.
Chris Dolmetsch
Not unusual in those days to rework a hit record and try to get a second chart record. Most of the time the follow-up got some airplay and may have scraped the bottom of the Hot 100, but occasionally the second record also scored well. Unfortunately not so with this one.

Always liked this one....charted briefly on WQAM and WFUN Miami

I talked to them after a show. They NEVER did this song live.
