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 and/or keith:
“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)
“The most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
