Singer getting false note right (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenor
'singer' is the definition.
(I know that tenor is a type of singer)
'false note right' is the wordplay.
'false' indicates an anagram.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'note' is an anagram of 'teno'.
'teno'+'r'='TENOR'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Male singing voice of high pitch" , "Voice classification of Jose Carreras" , "General course - male singer" , "Male voice of high pitch, like Luciano" , "General drift or meaning" .)
