"Smooth Operator" singer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sade

'smooth operator singer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sade that I've seen before include "The Marquis de . . . . was noted for cruelty" , "Marquis de ..., famous for taking pleasure in pain" , "Jazz-pop group" , "letter from Israel?" , "Hebrew character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, the USA Today, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
