He who first sang for an audience...not necessarily a paying audience.
Probably one of the construction workers.

Last clue, he was an American singer, well known at the time but long since shuffled off this mortal coil.

If no correct answer in 12 hours time I'll reveal the answer.

They've probably all charted for the same artist but I have no idea who.

Today’s question is, where has Boris been for the last 10 days?
When all else fails, read the instructions.
