Singer Robbie in Tennessee? (8)
I believe the answer is:
williams
'singer' is the definition.
(I know that Williams is a singer)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for williams that I've seen before include "... after which [STATE = TENNESSEE] writer" , "Tennessee, Wm. Carlos ---, authors" , "Robin and Robbie ..." , "Tennessee, William Carlos, -" , "Type of dessert pear" .)
