TORONTO - Radio personality Gord Atkinson, who exposed the world to a young Paul Anka and rubbed elbows with Elvis Presley on his popular “Campus Corner” show, has died at 94. Even from his earliest days, the Toronto-born and raised Atkinson seemed to have entertainment in his blood. “Campus Corner” gave a platform to rising Canadian stars and trumpeted some of America’s biggest musical acts too. In 1974, Atkinson would record “The Crosby Years,” an all-encompassing look at the singer’s life to mark 50 years in showbusiness. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
