Bobby Darin Bridge over Troubled Water

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto, May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was one of the most popular[citation needed] American big band performers and rock and roll teen idols of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Darin performed widely in a range of music genres, including pop, jazz, folk and country. Allegedly[who?] his health, unknown to the public, was dangerously fragile and strongly motivated him to succeed within the limited lifetime he feared.[citation needed]

He was also an actor, singer/songwriter and music business entrepreneur. His wish for a legacy was "to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer."[1] Among his many other contributions, he became a goodwill ambassador for the American Heart Association.
