Song Sung Blue is a 2008 American biographical musical documentry film written, co-produced, and directed by Greg Kohs. The film follows Mike and Claire Sardina, who performed as the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder, and documents their life events.
Song Sung Blue had its premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival on January 23, 2008 where it received the Jury and Audience Awards for Best Documentary. The film's premiere was postponed for several days while Kohs sought, and received, approval from Neil Diamond to use his music in the film; a process aided by Eddie Vedder. [1]
In 2025, a fictional drama film with the same title, based on the documentary film, was released. It was written and directed by Craig Brewer and stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. Brewer had first seen the film at the 2008 Indie Memphis Film Festival. [2]
