    Do we need some hints?

    It's a family group from the early 70s and Duncan is manufacturer of this toy.

    okay..howsabout some obtuse math. Three songs combine to make a fourth
    (solve for titles and artists)

    Nomadic Fortunetellers , a la 'Armada Oak ApplePC'+
    The Lady, a la Sinatra +
    Cinematically, Robin was their prince
    (or acoustically, Prince's relic robbers)
    ________________________________________ (equals)
    Snra. Bono Ballad

    Gypsies +
    Tramps +
    Thieves =
    Cher

    I take it there is a second half to this puzzle?

    Sinatra did The Lady Is A Tramp

    No second half. Your up, @deckerp
    Gypsy , Fleetwood Mac
    the lady is a Tramp, Sinatra
    Thieves ('Robin hood, Prince of', or 'Theives in the Temple, Prince')

    Gypsies Tramps & Thieves, Cher

    I see the Gypsy and Fleetwood Mac connection and the rest now.

    Not very creative here, but looking for a song.

    Johnny Mathis / Over provisioned + not enough + not in time = [song]

    I've collated your results to nudge you along:


    1. Reach Out (I’ll be There) - The Four Tops
    2.Walk like a man-the 4 seasons
    3. What’s Going On - ̶M̶a̶r̶v̶i̶n̶ ̶G̶a̶y̶e̶ ̶ ( right song wrong artist )


    4. ??
    Spoiler
    Retraction/Update regarding #3
    Spoiler
    Number 3: The actual song title is slightly different, but going by the lyrics you'd think this was the title.

    Initially for #3 I was going to guess the 4 Non Blondes song but after further review, their song name is “What’s Up”. Is that the song you’re looking for?
    If yes, then the theme is “4”...

    CORRECT!
    1. Reach Out (I’ll be There) - The Four Tops
    2.Walk like a man-the 4 seasons
    3. What's Up (What’s Going On) - Four Non Blondes

    4. Artists with Four in their name

    @Watching_The_Wheels , You're up!

    Pair-share: Although each of these pair of songs share the same name title, they are completely different songs and are sung by different artists. I’ll provide the artists and you provide the song for each line.
    For example:
    (Artists) Bob Dylan/Rod Stewart =
    (Song) Forever Young

    1. Madness/Crosby, Stills & Nash
    2. Simon & Garfunkel/Neil Diamond
    3. Everly Brothers/Ray LaMontagne
