Bandleader __ Brown
I believe the answer is:
les
'bandleader brown' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for les that I've seen before include "French definite article" , "Boy's name (abbr)" , "Short boy or girl" , "-- Dawson, English comic" , "-- Dawson (late comedian)" .)
