Jenny’s Number Finds a New Gig

What’s the most famous phone number in music? Remember? The number everyone prank‑called in the 80s — 867‑5309? Turns out, Jenny’s number is finally doing something useful. Tommy Heath, the guy from Tommy Tutone who wrote the song, teamed up with the Cancer Support Community and Gilda’s Club to turn it into a real helpline for anyone affected by cancer.

Now, if you call 272‑867‑5309 (CSC‑867‑5309), you’ll get connected with trained specialists who actually pick up — offering info, emotional support, and help navigating cancer resources.

Heath’s 78 now, has had some skin cancer himself, and wanted to give back. He said it’s a way to make people smile again — and feel like someone’s waiting on the other end who can help. Not a bad encore for one of the most famous phone numbers in the world.
