nashville

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'centre for world class singers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'drunken student elvis? nah' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates an anagram.
'student' becomes 'L' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'l'+'elvis'+'nah'='lelvisnah'
'lelvisnah' with letters rearranged gives 'NASHVILLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nashville that I've seen before include "country town" , "Capital of Tennessee and home of country music" , "Where the Grand Ole Opry comes from" , "Centre of country and western" , "Grand Ole Opry city" .)
