There was just never enough tragic love in the 80s, and so today we return with another tragic 80s love song. Its a bit more rockin' than the previous tragic hits, and it is the 1983 song Holdin' On, by American singer/actress/film producer Tane Cain. Tain Cain (Tané McClure), daughter of actor Doug McClure was born in Los Angeles, California in 1958 and raised in Hawaii. She sang in a latin-jazz band in the 1970's called Sweet Honesty, and shortly after she married a keyboardist that she landed her own record deal in 1982 and recorded her debut self titled album Tané Cain, which was released in 1983.
