She brings heavenly spirit to the heart of man (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angela

'she' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'heavenly spirit to the heart of man' is the wordplay.
'heavenly spirit' becomes 'angel' (I've seen this before).
'to the heart of' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'man' is 'a'.
'angel'+'a'='ANGELA'

'brings' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for angela that I've seen before include "Frau Merkel" , "Girl's name" , "-- Merkel, German Chancellor" , "girl" , "- Gheorghiu, Romanian soprano" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
