A duo from Milwaukee who turned Neil Diamond's songs into something entirely their own — and built a cult following doing it. Claire survived being hit by a car in her own front yard, lost half a leg, fought her way back. Mike lived with a failing heart, never stopped performing, and died just before he could meet Neil Diamond himself. At Summerfest 1995, Eddie Vedder invited them on stage to sing “Forever in Blue Jeans” — because even rock legends knew Lightning & Thunder were something special. Cotton Heritage fleece.
