Title of head of household once — Benny, possibly? (7)

I believe the answer is:

goodman

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'title of head of household once' is the first definition.
(archaic term for the male head of a household)

'benny possibly?' is the second definition.
(musician Benny Goodman is an example)

(Other definitions for goodman that I've seen before include "Benny ___ , 'King of Swing'" , "jazz player" , "Jazz musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
