Handsome and real dapper looking.

Thanks Methuselah2.

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 early sixties[61-62]

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.
