Dt Quick

In Friday's Quick Xword, the clue was:

---- 15 + 22, SINGER [5]. The only word we could fit in was DINAH - which was correct but we can't work out why! Can anyone explain the answer to me please?

Many thanks.

What were the answers to clues 15 and 22 please?

Shore?

[factor-fiction]

Thanks, Baldric. It makes sense now

[Psybbo]

Ignore me, sorry

[mjulian]

There were no questions numbered 15 or 22! I'm sorry to be so thick but I still don't understand! Can anyone spell it out for me?!!

I assumed washing and ton were answers..l

Was there a 37? Or an answer/answers of Washington?

[mjulian]

No number 37 - I'd added up and looked for that too. Clues only went up to 25. No other questions re US either. Did anyone out there do Friday's quick xwrd please?

Dinah WashingTon, a singer. More cryptic than Quick.

[factor-fiction]

But where do the Washing and To come from please, DocHH?

[scorpiojo]

Ton was one of the answers in that crossword:

Thanks. I assume Washing was another answer then.
I'm still not clear what the relevance is then of the '15+22' part of the clue given that there are no clues numbers 15, 22 or 37
