The Reflections-Just Like Romeo And Juliet

Heres the old video that used to be on here of The Reflections on a T.V broadcast signing (Just Like) Romeo And Juliet.

[@christinechandler1662]

Agreed. An unforgettable song with a tune that creates a feeling of happiness.

[@joesolway7636]

From the hand claps to the harmonies -- all perfect and swimming in my brain for 40 years.

[@MD-lf3gt]

Well said!

[@calvinjackson538]

Every time I hear it I am 12 years old again and its Saturday and I in the 5 and dime store looking at comic books and eating popcorn!What a great song from this time period of my life!!! I am 66 now and I still love this song. Thank you Reflections!!

I had the exact same experience but I was 13. I was a paperboy with a big pocketful of quarters just itching to spend it on something.

[@westrokker]

Same here but I am 10 years old...

[@queenbee3647]

We had less money. My brothers collected pop bottles from garbage bins and the gutter, took them to the five and dime for refund (2¢ a bottle) then headed over to the bait shop. They sold and traded used comics. Can you imagine todays kids buying used comics? They brought home a pile too! Richie Rich, Lil LuLu, Archie, Superman, Spiderman, Thor, Justice League. After we did our chores we spent the rest of the day reading. And playing the radio. What fun!

It brings you back to a peaceful U.S.A. filled with love !

[@kellyhughart9600]

This song was on the charts the same year my Mom and Dad got married. 1964! It's 4 years older than I am, but I absolutely love it! It's one of those fun, feel-good songs that just make you smile!

[@civilsoldi]

Gosh, how I loved the 60s go go dancers!

[@ralphsmith1170]

Such a great song! I remember it on the radio as a kid! I always loved it!

[@6motion6]

They recorded this on a label which was a subsidiary of Motown. I read a story that the group really didn't want to record this soulful tune. I'm sure they are glad they did

[@ericmoore906]

How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore and how is the weather over there

[@Kinseydsp]

I will always remember this song, I was riding in a beautiful 1958 Pylmouth Converable with a guy and his girl that were friends it was snowing and we had the top down crusing Pottstown Pa. This was their song and I have always loved this song since then.

[@mikebiere6145]

I've never seen this video, but what a trip to see Tony and John so damn young! I'm only 33, knew these guys since I was 5 (my father was their longtime audio engineer for live stuff, and some studio work)...Must have seen them perform literally 500 times in my lifetime, maybe more....I miss them, will have to go see them somewhere in the area this summer...Great clip to the poster...!

[@jimbo6769]

Someone is selling an acetate of this on Ebay UK atm. Claims to be a diff mix, cut at Abbey Rd...which surprised me - maybe they sent a tape over? Steep price. (Thought you might be interested just to know, given your connection.)

[@MEH50caribe]

One of the best songs of this era, ever! I know, I was there!

did he ever say how come they didn't have more success then they did. loved their sound

[@sanfranciscoprofessor2577]

Is your grandfather in Winter a Go Go? The Reflections are in that, but the cast of all those groups changed frequently. The movie is online. Just like Romeo and Juliet was a hit which turned into a classic, revived by Sha Na Na later with other classics.

[@TheMooney201]

This was a big hit in Australia when released in 1964. I was only 8 years of age and I loved it back then as a young kid and still love listening to it now. Thanks for the memories.

[@GialloHorror]

I discovered my "Oldies" channel back in 1991 when I was 14 years old, thanks to advertisements by Time Life Music for a 60's collection. I fell in love with this music immediately. I used to put in a blank cassette, and record almost every song that played. I loved it at 14, I love it at 35, and I'll love it when I'm 75. 1950's through the 1980's had so much GREAT music!

[@queenbee3647]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 YES!

[@Christian06820]

Fabulous to see this again! This music will live forever - it just makes you feel good and it STILL sounds as fresh as ever. Today's stuff doesn't even come close.

[@macfrederick7014]

Love it . I wasnt around when all this great music hit , i wasnt born until 1980 , but i still crank these songs when im out in the garage workin on my 55 chevy.

[@louiecolon9494]

Beautiful song, lot's of great memories I was in the 6th grade back then. Still listening 2019

[@ftsjr]

One of my favorite one-hit wonders of the 60's. And, although I was just a child at the time, I miss all those great music programs that were on then, (Hullabaloo, Shindig, American Bandstand, Hollywood a Go-Go, etc.).

[@paulmason329]

@@Katy-ye1zr I'm into Something Good was a USA recording by The Cookies written by Carole King. Sadly African American performers had their songs picked up by white UK performers before crossing the Atlantic west bound Many early Beatles songs made the same journey.

@ 33rcast, I was born in '81, & while I loved the 80's & early 90's I can agree. I've always loved the music of the 50's & 60's! At times I feel like I was born at the wrong time. I used to love watching my dad play with his band as a child. They always played great music from this era with the including some great 70's & 80's hits. I miss those days so much, today's music is such a disappointment!

Great Song! It's been about 5 years since I've heard this song or so. They got rid of the oldies station they had here, and I really miss it. They never played this song enough, and the only reason why I thought about this song is because a friend has a dog name Julie, and it made me think of Romeo and Juliet! "Who Who Whooooooooooooooooooooo, just like Romeo and Juliet"! Thanks for posting this classic song!

A Golden World (Detroit) recording, released in the UK on Stateside, this was a big record on the old "Rhythm & Soul" scene, the precursur to the Northern Soul scene. As such it's regarded as a classic tune here in the UK.

On this day in 1965 {April 17th} the Reflections performed "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" on the Los Angeles-based syndicated television program 'Shivaree'... One year earlier on April 5th, 1964 "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" entered Billboard's hot Top 100 at position #86; seven weeks later it would peak at #6 {for 1 week} and it spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... And on May 3rd, 1964 the song peaked at #3 {for 2 weeks} on the Cash Box R&B Singles* chart; the two weeks it was at #3, the #2 record was "I'm So Proud" by the Impressions and the #1 record was "My Guy" by Mary Wells... * Between Nov. 30th, 1963 and Jan. 23rd, 1965 Billboard Magazine did not publish a R&B Singles chart...

A special thanks and well wishes go out to the members of the Reflections and the other groups that gave us all the great music in the decade from 1958 to 1967. I don't think we will ever see another decade like it again. On a side note have you ever seen such a hot go-go dancer as the one directly to the right of Tony? Got to love those moves and legs!
