Crossword Genius

Singer revealed by body language to some extent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dylan

'singer' is the definition.
(I know that Dylan is a singer)

'by body language to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DYLAN' is hidden within 'by body language'.

'revealed' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dylan that I've seen before include "Bob -, Blowin' in the Wind singer" , "Bob (singer) - Thomas (author)" , "Bob --, Nobel prize winner" , "Popular musician" , "American singer-songwriter Bob, b. 1941" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
