Warriors once stripped down tame jazz song with soprano (7)

I believe the answer is:

amazons

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

'warriors' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amazons that I've seen before include "Mythical female warriors of Scythia" , "Legendary female warriors" , "Women warriors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
