Young, dapper Berry Gordy could surely pass as the black Clark Gable. Very classy, indeed!

Wonder what year that photo was taken.

In the photo section of Smokey's book INSIDE MY LIFE, he includes a copy of this photo, autographed to Claudette.

I think you are close. That's around the time he married Miss Ray.

I'd say earlier than the 60s, probably mid-50s. Yes, it's in the book.

He was several years younger in that photo than 1961. I'd guess 1954 or 1955.
