    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

    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]

    @DifferentView & @Watching_The_Wheels, together you two are almost there...
    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. ??
    Retraction/Update regarding #3
    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”...

    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
