NEW * Reflections - Diana Ross & The Supremes {Stereo} Summer 1967

1967......#2 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #2 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #5 UK Singles Chart, #3 Canada
Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Reflections" is a 1967 song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. It was the first Supremes record credited to "Diana Ross and the Supremes", and among their last hit singles to be written and produced by Holland–Dozier–Holland (H–D–H), Motown's main production team.
It peaked at number 2 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and number 5 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1967.
This single, released at the height of the Summer of Love and long, hot summer of 1967 and the Vietnam War, was the first Supremes' release to delve into psychedelic pop; H–D–H's production of the song, influenced by the psychedelic rock sounds of bands such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys, represented the beginning of a shift in Motown's sound in the late 1960s. Although it is sometimes cited as one of the first mainstream pop recordings to feature a Moog synthesizer, the electronic sounds on the track were generated with a test oscillator treated with tape echo. Motown did, however, eventually purchase a Moog III synthesizer in December 1967.
"Reflections" peaked during the late summer and early autumn of 1967. Making the highest debut on Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending August 12, the song reached number 2 on the week ending September 9, 1967. One place short of being the group's 11th American number 1 single, "Reflections" stalled at the penultimate position for two weeks behind Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe", which Diana Ross would cover for the Reflections album. The single peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart.
Cash Box said that "electronic effects are put to much use on this new outing from the Detroit mill, and the feedback play adds a cute appeal to the steady throbbing blues lament for an old love."
The first nationally televised performance to feature Ballard's replacement Cindy Birdsong as a member of The Supremes on American television, now billed as "Diana Ross & the Supremes," was on an episode of the ABC variety program The Hollywood Palace. The episode was hosted by entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. and first broadcast on September 26, 1967.

Very good matching the stereo to this HQ video Sammy.

Thank you Sammy. Great job considering there is a difference in the tempo from the live performance and the record, great editing. Mary is divine here

Fabulous classic sung so beautifully ❤

According to my book The Soul Trilogy, this would be the first official performance with Cindy Birdsong replacing Florence Ballard.

I see what you did. The recorded version synched to the video. The actual performance doesn't have the extra sound effects of the recording. Recorded March 2 & May 9 1967. By the way the effects are not a Moog, it's a test oscillator and tape echo. Final hit written and produced by Holland–Dozier–Holland, and the best!
