If there is a person, who is a symbol of "crossover" style in music, then it is legendary Leonard Bernstein, who implemented parts of jazz, Broadway sound, gospel or mass in his compositions. He did not differentiate between "classical" and "popular" music, but between "good" and "bad" music. Bernstein was a style synthetic and an eclectic: he did not follow some artistic branching.
