vaughan williams

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up with the lark? he's famous for it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'he's famous for it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'he's' could be 'williams' and 'williams' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'vaughan' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
