BILL CHINNOCK GONE AT 59


Bill Chinnock one of the the forgotten heroes of the "asbury park sound" took his life

Bill forged his own sound in Jersey clubs playing with future members of Springsteen’s E Street Band, including Vini Lopez, David Sancious, Garry Tallent and Danny Federici. Guitarist/keyboardist and singer/songwriter Chinnock was one of the brightest lights on the scene and was eventually discovered by legendary producer John Hammond, Sr., who dubbed him "the real essence of American music" and helped set him off on a long career that has included touring, recording albums and producing and directing films.
