Joseph Anthony Tunzi (born July 25, 1953) is a Chicago, Illinois based author, publisher, and producer. He has been described as "one of the foremost authorities on Elvis Presley," authoring, self-publishing, and producing over fifty titles about Presley for the past twenty-seven years. Tunzi has also compiled a massive photo archive, from which he licenses photographs of Presley. Adam Victor referred to Tunzi in his 2008 publication, ''The Elvis Encyclopedia'' as "one of the world's most prolific Elvis authors, with more than twenty books to his name, specializing in photo books about specific events and tours through his own publishing operation, J.A.T. Productions."〔The Elvis Encyclopedia, Overlook Duckworth, October 2, 2008, ISBN 978-1-58567-598-2 (United States) ISBN 978-0-7156-3816-3 (United Kingdom), Adam Victor, Page 541〕 Victor went on to write in ''The Elvis Encyclopedia'' that "many of Tunzi's books feature exclusive interviews and recordings and that he has also published a number of DVD titles, including the ''Elvis Presley Hot Shots And Cool Clips'' series."〔 ''AMICI Journal'' wrote of Tunzi, "deciding to focus purely on his writing and publishing, building a huge archive of photos, every book Tunzi has released has included a plethora of rare photographs. With their beautiful layouts, and accurate information, Tunzi quickly built a reputation as a top writer and archivist." 〔 Additionally, Tunzi has been interviewed by several television and radio programs as well as for several newspaper articles and websites throughout his career.〔http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1991-07-21/news/9103210465_1_natural-gas-explosions-natural-gas-al-russell〕 Between 1972 and 1977, Tunzi routinely was a guest commentator on Roy Leonard's radio program on WGN, often offering opinions on Elvis Presley's latest record releases and Elvis' personal concert appearances, films and television specials he had recently witnessed, amongst other subjects. Tunzi also regularly appeared as a guest on Jay Gordon's radio program ''Elvis Only''. Tunzi has been a guest on Sirius Satellite Radio's ''Elvis Radio'' (Channel 19), having been interviewed while in Memphis as well as via the telephone. == Early career == Tunzi worked at several radio stations in the Chicago area between 1972 and 1982 as an account executive in charge of selling radio advertisements.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfVrzUZiktw〕 He also owned Records For A Song, a Chicago area record shop in the late seventies.〔AMICI Journal, AMICI Journal Publications, Spring 2005, Mike Eder, Page 2, A Look At Joseph A. Tunzi〕 In 1982, he formed his own publishing company, which up until 1987 strictly dealt with direct mail advertising. By 1985, Tunzi had stopped working for radio stations and began focusing his efforts towards becoming an entrepreneur in direct mail advertising. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph A.
