Red Robinson, Canada's foremost disc jockey, known for his having introduced both Elvis and the Beatles at their Empire Stadium shows in Vancouver, BC, in 1957 and 1964, respectively, as told to David Wylie, in his program One on one, as broadcast on 16 November, 2016.

Elvis was the best looking, nicest, most down to earth man I have ever met, funny to say that, but it's true, it was like a guy you went to school with, anyone who spend any time with him would tell you. He cared how he looked, but no conceit. The best gig I saw had to be his concert at Empire Stadium. There was nothing like it beforehand. He was the first guy to rent stadiums. I'd emceed shows, but standing in front of 26,000 people was nerve-racking.
