so and so quiz

[x-ray]

At the risk of being rebuked, I have now only 3 more clues to get,
63. More than selfish brothers lived to regret elsie
(6 and 6)
86. Jade, jet and ebony produce a real threat (5 and 6)
88. He sang a sweet fairy tale to soothe her (3 and 3)
I don't want to be given the answers (maybe a further clue) but am just curious to know whether anybody else is struggling with these three.

Hi freebi 2
I don't think "green and blacks" is the answer though - why are they a real threat ?
Thanks anyway, good luck on the KM/MM links this weekend !

Thanks smouse.
I had an answer for 63 weeks ago but couldn't make the connection - looking so hard, the obvious was staring me in the face.
Great quiz though.

86 - its says real treat so I agree with green and blacks

88 runs through as well clue being the last two words

Thanks freebi 2 and smouse.
Treat of course - where did I get threat......how stupid of me.
Oh well, now to concentrate on Earth Wind and Fire.
