4 can represent either G, H or I
5 can represent either J, K, or L
6 can represent either M, N or O
7 can represent either P, Q, R or S
8 can represent either T. U, or V
9 can represent either W, X, Y or Z

Example:

Answer:

Oldies Brain Busters

As you can see a number can stand for different letters in the same puzzle.
For instance the number 6 stands for both the "O" in "Oldies" and the "N" in "Brain."

Three songs were listed in telephone code. All three songs were hit singles by the same recording act.
We included the following hint: this act was recently in the news.

For three points players needed only name the mystery act and not all three song titles.

Here are the answers:

song title #1: 333422833 86 843 663 4 5683
 
answer: Dedicated To The One I Love

song title #2: 4 729 437 24246
 
answer: I Saw Her Again

song title #3: 96737 63 5683

answer: Words Of Love

These are all hits by The Mamas and The Papas.
They were recently in the news because founding member John Phillips passed away at the age of 65.
