Berry was writing songs in 1956. But, I believe he didn't start actually producing records until he produced "Ooh Shucks"/"Dead Wrong" by The Five Stars [[formerly The Five Jets, later The Voice Masters and morphed into The Originals) in 1957 for George Goldner's Mark-X Records.
In addition to Raynoma Gordy, Gwen Gordy, Roquel [[Billy) Davis and Harvey Fuqua, and Smokey Robinson. - Janie Bradford, Beans Bowles, Maurice King, George Goldner, Bristoe Bryant, Joe Hunter, Popcorn Wylie, Robert Bateman, Brian and Eddie Holland, Sonny Sanders all played roles in the beginnings of Motown.
