In the 1960s she was a regular on Canadian Broadcasting Company radio and television, including Singalong Jubilee. McKinnon"s first and biggest selling album, Voice of an Angel, was a collection of folk material, but she has also recorded ballads, torch songs, and songs by notable popular songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Buffy Sainte-Marie.
She has also been a stage actress, appearing in Canadian productions of Turvey, The Wizard of Oz, and My Fair Lady.
McKinnon married actor/comedian Don Harron in 1969. The couple divorced in 2003.
Her sister, Patrician-Anne McKinnon (1948-2001), began her singing career on Canadian Broadcasting Company Television at age 13 and had a Canadian hit single entitled "Blue Lipstick" in 1965. She was featured on both "Voice of an Angel" albums.
Patrician-Anne"s career was often interrupted owing to Hodgkins disease which caused her death at the age of 53 of lymphatic cancer on October 10, 2001 in Toronto, Canada.
