Renaissance With Keith and Jane Relf
Thatcher's friend Liz Kellett introduced her to her school friend Jane Relf, the younger sister of ex-Yardbirds singer Keith Relf. When Keith and Jane formed Renaissance, they asked her to be the lyricist, Relf having read Thatcher's letters to Jane. When the threesome moved to St Ives, Cornwall, she sent her lyrics from there to Jim McCarty who would write songs around them, including "Love Is All" and "Past Orbits Of Dust" from the album Illusion, which was produced by Paul Samwell-Smith and released in Germany in 1971, but not released in the UK until 1976.

Famous quotes containing the words renaissance, keith and/or jane:
“People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it. The two things that nearly all of us have thoroughly and really been through are childhood and youth. And though we would not have them back again on any account, we feel that they are both beautiful, because we have drunk them dry.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“You are evil. But even the power of evil cannot stand against the power of faith and goodness.”
—Griffin Jay, and Randall Faye. Lew Landers. Lady Jane Ainsley (Frieda Inescort)
