[3] Raised in Hawaii, McClure moved to Northern California and, at age 17, began singing in a Latin jazz band called Sweet Honesty.

[3][4] McClure recorded her first single, "Redwood City", in the late 1970s, and soon thereafter met the Babys and Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, whom she married.

"[5] AllMusic's Alex Henderson wrote that "the material – most of it sleek, commercial pop/rock that was co-produced and co-written by Jonathan Cain and has a Pat Benatar-ish quality – is generally excellent.

McClure composed and performed a new song, "Kicks", which was heard in a bar scene on a jukebox in Fred Olen Ray's Armed Response (1986) film soundtrack.
