Singer to boast endlessly, one getting little right (7)
I believe the answer is:
crooner
'singer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'boast endlessly one getting little right' is the wordplay.
'boast' becomes 'crow' (crow is a kind of boast).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'little right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.**).
'crow' with its last letter taken off is 'cro'.
'cro'+'one'+'r'='CROONER'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crooner that I've seen before include "Crosby or Sinatra?" , "Bing Crosby, for example" , "Sentimental balladeer" , "Singer like Bing and Frank" , "Singer of quiet songs" .)
