Davy Jones of The Monkees lead off a lineup of 16
musical acts that performed daily during the festival. Gary Lewis & The
Playboys, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, The Grass Roots, The Turtles
featuring Flo & Eddie, Paul Revere & The Raiders and more will be
featured during the six-and-a-half-week event. Shows daily were 4:30, 5:45 and
7:10 p.m. at America Gardens Theatre.
  
This year's lineup produced a total of 60 Top 10 hits (including the 13 No.
1's).
   
Groups with which this year's
lineup performed had a total of 132 Top 40 hits.
  
Biggest hit by a Flower Power 2002
act: "My Sharona" by The Knack was a megahit - No. 1 for six weeks;
the top song of 1979.
  
Gary Lewis & The Playboys hit No.
1 with their first charting song, "This Diamond Ring." While it was
their biggest hit, they were anything but one-hit wonders: Their next six
charting songs during nearly a year and a half all climbed into the Top 10.
Mickey Thomas joined Starship in
1979, replacing Jefferson Airplane original Marty Balin. With Thomas doing
vocal work, Starship had its greatest commercial success from 1985 to 1987 -
20 years and more after the group's genesis.
