Singer Willie ____ (6)
I believe the answer is:
nelson
'singer willie' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for nelson that I've seen before include "Lady Hamilton's naval lover" , "Horatio - - , naval commander" , "Sailor" , "Admiral (who had the touch)" , "English admiral, lover of Lady Hamilton" .)
