Dorin Liviu Zaharia
Dorin Liviu ''Chubby'' Zaharia (; September 25, 1944 – December 3, 1987) was a Romanian musician, composer, poet, essayist, and philosopher. A "completely unclassifiable", "nearly mythical figure", Zaharia was an autodidact in all he undertook (he studied for about two years at the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Letters, and another two at the Faculty of Philosophy, without completing any of them). Nicknamed "Chubby" (sometimes spelled as ''Ciabi'') by his peers in the Popa Nan neighborhood because of his propensity to imitate Chubby Checker, Zaharia was the lead singer of Olympic '64, arguably one of the first Romanian bands interested in mixing Romanian folklore music with the popular music of the 1960s.
