Musical talent gets attention (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'musical talent' is the first definition.
(as in 'having an ear' for music)
'attention' is the second definition.
(have the ear of someone is to have their attention)
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "Hearing aid?" , "Corn seed-holder" , "Organ inside heart" , "Aural organ" , "Sense organ" .)
