French address above 1960s' US band member and composer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunesmith

'composer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for tunesmith that I've seen before include "Composer" , "I produce strains" , "Melody Maker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
