ED BONJA BIOGRAPHY
Ed first met Thomas A Parker (not Colonel yet) in Chicago in the late 1940’s through his uncle, Tom Diskin, who was managing a singing trio known as the Little Dickens Sisters, made up of three of Ed’s aunts.
Tom Parker and Tom Diskin met and became friends while their acts were performing on the same shows as they toured around the country.
They often visited the Bonjas’ home in Chicago and Los Angeles for Sunday afternoon supper.
The entire Bonja family grew up knowing Tom Parker and his wife, Marie, as Uncle Tom (later Uncle Colonel) and Aunt Marie. It was in June of 1964, while working for the Colonel, that Ed first met Elvis at a surprise birthday party Elvis gave for the Colonel at MGM Studios.
When Elvis and the Colonel made the decision to start doing live concert tours again in 1970, the Colonel asked Ed, his brother, Ron, and a couple cousins to come along on the tours and “help out” in any way needed to assure the tours ran smoothly – from loading and unloading equipment from trucks and planes, to selling Elvis Souvenirs at the concerts.
The Colonel knew that Ed had just begun studying
photography,
and he suggested that Ed bring his camera on that first tour in September of 1970 and feel free to take all the pictures he wanted.
Ed did bring his camera on that tour, and that was the start of his taking several thousand photographs of Elvis Presley over the next five years.
Ed would take off from school for a couple weeks for a tour,
then
return to his studies.
Ed went to work on a full-time basis as an assistant to the Colonel and as the Elvis Presley Show Tour Manager and Photographer until April of 1977.
During the 1970’s, Ed’s photographs were used for all the souvenir books, posters, buttons and publicity shots that were seen and sold at Elvis Concerts and Las Vegas/Lake Tahoe Engagements.
Ed’s first record album cover was
ELVIS As Recorded Live At Madison Square Garden,
released in June of 1972.
His photos appear on the covers of dozens of Elvis’ LP Albums, Single Sleeves and CD’s.
Ed’s collection of thousands of Elvis photos includes a large number of unpublished works.
