Reflections: The Definitive Performances 1964-1969 (2006)

Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard (and her replacement Cindy Birdsong) conquered the charts and then the world through their TV appearances. Their looks, their charm and of course their great hits burst from the screen and won over even the harshest critics. Now the fans can have it all over again -- the original "Dreamgirls" doing their thing unlike any group before or since. The Supremes: Reflections, produced for UMe by Historic Films, is an extraordinary DVD collection -- their greatest hits on video in any form for the first time. Included are not only the classic appearances from the Ed Sullivan Show and Hullaballo, but incredible rare footage not seen since first aired more than 40 years ago. As a fabulous bonus, a click of the sub-title button will also reveal entertaining and revealing trivia about each clip.

Then there's the DVD extras, the icing on the cake: additional rare clips of "Baby Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love," early footage of the trio doing their first top 40 hit, and uncut footage from the documentary Anatomy Of Pop that includes an interview with Berry Gordy. As with all other UMe/Motown DVD collections, all audio has been significantly upgraded; where the group has lip-synced to the record, you'll now hear remastered stereo right from the Motown vault.

 Timeless Music
I gave this DVD as a Christmas gift to my sister who was a huge Diana Ross and the Supremes fan but she never gets to watch it because her 18 y/o granddaughter has become so enthralled with the group that she watches it in her room over and over. She even did her term paper on the Supremes and has introduced her friends to not only this DVD but the the DVD with The Temptations also. This music is so entertaining and such a pleasure to listen to singers who really had to and could sing for their supper. April 20, 2008

 A Real Keeper
This is an excellent DVD for Motown fanatics. It takes you back to "the day" with performances done in "the day" not recent ones. It's fun to not only hear the music but to see the style of clothing and the moves they used while performing. Also, there are interviews with the Supremes giving a little history behind the tunes. I highly recommend this DVD. April 12, 2008

 Just what I was looking for ! ! !
Just what I was looking for, the old performances of the old groups, not the new performance of the old group...in other words D. Ross in her hey day....not her at 64yrs old playing at the Shylite Club. March 23, 2008

 Reflections on Reflections
I have been a Supremes fan since I first heard "When the Lovelight." I had the opportunity to see the Supremes in concert many times.
When the ladies were on stage singing or talking to the audience, there was magic in the air. You could feel the electricity in whatever venue the show was taking place. In a college auditorium; a tennis stadium or a nightclub The Supremes made you feel as if they were performing just for you.
The video brings that all back and more. You are there once again watching history being made. This video shows why the Supremes were the GREATEST girl group ever.
The option of playing the songs with out the music is fantastic. You can hear the harmony they were so famous for.
Watching the Florence, Mary, Cindy and Diane doing their dancing is great. To learn that the early moves they made up made it even more fun to watch. The DVD shows why the were the DUPER SUPREMEs
Motown needs to release another DVD (or 2 or 3) of more performances of the ladies from this time period. Live performances - like the black and white from a show in Germany(?) were the best.
