THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED

Bill Chinnock, an instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who was a founding member of what later became Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, died Wednesday at his home here. He was 59.... In 1987 he won an Emmy for musical direction and composition for his song “Somewhere in the Night,” used as theme music for the soap opera “Edge of Night.” A duet he later recorded with Roberta Flack became a theme song for the soap opera “Guiding Light.”
