Musical right for workman (7)

Ross

greaser

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

'workman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'musical right' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'grease' (Grease is a film musical).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'grease'+'r'='GREASER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greaser that I've seen before include "Mechanic - sycophant" , "Young motorcyclist" , "(Unskilled) mechanic" , "An unctuous individual" , "Ship's engineer; motor mechanic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
