’umble villain from superior sixties musical recalled (5)
I believe the answer is:
uriah
''umble villain' is the definition.
(David Copperfield villain who often says 'umble)
'superior sixties musical recalled' is the wordplay.
'superior' becomes 'u' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sixties musical' becomes 'hair' (American musical).
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'hair' in reverse letter order is 'riah'.
'u'+'riah'='URIAH'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for uriah that I've seen before include "... Heep, obsequious character in David Copperfield (Dickens)" , "Husband of Bathsheba" , "Biblical figure" , "embezzling clerk" , "12 [HITTITE] officer" .)
