Her fame came after she broke into the chart with several hits in the mid 60s, but a severe case of laryngitis and substance abuse problems affected her singing voice. By the early seventies when this video was shot, she was being celebrated for her "whiskey-soaked" bluesy voice.

Of course ymmv, but her usual style of singing didn't mesh well with this kind of conservative bubblegum pop tune.
