From the vinyl vault: Tané McClure, who starred in tons of late 80s & 90s B-films, was a budding pop star in the early 80s, releasing a self-titled album in 1982 under her married name, Tané Cain (her then-husband, Journey's Jonathan Cain, was a producer on the album). The single "Holdin' On" reached No. 37 in the US. Tané later played Reese Witherspoon's character's mom in the Legally Blonde films. . . . . . #tanécain #tanecain #tanemcclure #1982 #80s #1980s #80smusic #rock #rocknroll #pop #vinyl #record #music #vinylrecords #vinylcollector #popmusic #records #dangerzone #holdinon #reesewitherspoon #legallyblonde #journey #jonathancainmusic
