1 star off for the appallingly groan worthy yellow clue, but great fun. Have you been reading Soul Music By any chance?

I like it apart from the colours ones.
Read is NOT red and Cry in pain is not yell-ow

Great fun. Sussed the grid out but had to Google the Respected and Impressive answer... Never heard or even read it used like that so learned something! TY 5*

Love a punny groan 5*

Mister Tom: Thank you. No, not read Soul Music. Should I?
Joe: Yep, "read" and "red" are homophones, and to cry in pain is to yell "ow"!
Pookman6: I knew that "august" was a word but I had to look up the definition too! 😄
stjohn: Punny groans are king! 😄
