McCann joined with Bob Smith and Roy Michaels of "Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys" to form a new group called "Rich and Famous (and Denise)".
After moving to Kitsilano, a neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, McCann became a fixture performing at local clubs such as Rohan’s Rockpile and The Commodore Ballroom.
In Vancouver, McCann teamed up with Guy Sobell, who produced her first single, the country-tinged "It Still Hurts" and its proposed B side "Tattoo Man".
Sobell complied with the request and "Tattoo Man" was released as a five-minute extended play LP that became a hit on the disco charts across North America.
