Home > Reflections (song)


"Reflections" is the name of a 1967 hit song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. It was the first Supremes record released under the name Diana Ross & The Supremes, and the last of their hit singles to be written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland.

It is noted for being, along with the Norman Whitfield -produced Temptations records, one of the main examples of psychedelic soul , a musical subgenre that fused soul music and psychedelic music during the latter half of the 1960s. The psychedelic influence is apparent in the song's arrangement, which features one of the earliest uses of an oscillator on a major record.

Group member Florence Ballard was fired from the Supremes soon after the release of this song in July 1967 and was replaced by Cindy Birdsong.

"Reflections" made it to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts during the summer of 1967.
