'perhaps tommy' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cooper's opening in club working with top name' is the wordplay.
'opening' says to take the initial letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'working with' indicates an anagram (working with the letters).
The initial letter of 'cooper' is 'c'.
'top'+'name'='topname'
'club' with its letters anagrammed with 'topname' gives 'coneptalbum'.
'c' put inside 'coneptalbum' is 'CONCEPT ALBUM'.
