2 can represent either A, B or C
3 can represent either D, E or F
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:

653437 27246 2878377

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:  42779 878626
 
answer: Harry Truman



song title #2: 3335464 78766437 38379 329
 
answer: Feeling Stronger Every Day



song title #3: 72887329 46 843 7275

answer: Saturday In The Park

These are all hits by Chicago!
