Oldies Brain Busters!

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:  2229 9675688
 
answer: Baby Workout



song title #2: 2 96626 2 56837 2 374363
 
answer: A Woman A Lover A Friend



song title #3: 566359 832737677

answer: Lonely Teardrops

These are all hits by Jackie Wilson!
