The Reflections was the name of a number of musical groups. Perhaps the best known were a blue-eyed soul/doo-wop group from Detroit, Michigan. They had one hit single in 1964 called "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet", written by Bob Hamilton. 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. The record was even more popular in rhythm and blues locations, reaching #3 on that Cashbox chart, and was featured on "American Bandstand" as a "spotlight dance".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgHGLBMiX5I )〕 A cover version by new wave band Mental As Anything hit #27 on the Australian charts in 1980. "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" and "Adam and Eve" were and remain highly popular on the Northern Soul scene. 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. Today, The Reflections are one of many popular groups touring various oldies venues throughout their home state of Michigan and all over the States. Original members Tony Micale and John Dean are now augmented by three other members from various regional doo-wop groups: first tenor Joey Finazzo, baritone Gary Benovetz, and first tenor Sal Prado. ==Original group members== * Tony Micale — lead vocals, born August 23, 1942 in Bronx, New York * Phil Castrodale — first tenor, born April 2 in Detroit, Michigan * Dan Bennie — second tenor, born Daniel Hunter Bennie, March 13, 1940 in Johnstone, Scotland.
