Can one be a Turner? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tina

'a turner?' is the definition.
(Tina Turner, famous singer)

'can one' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 'tin' (synonyms).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'tin'+'a'='TINA'

'be' is the link.

(Another definition for tina that I've seen is " Ain't this a girl?".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
