She had some emotional issues that definitely impacted her voice. According to her brother, she never got over the breakup of her marriage to Mario Lanfranchi. I still that that as ragged as she got toward the latter part of her career, she was still better than most of the singers back then or now. And silvr94... yes, it's true; the middle went first.
Somewhere in her career, she decided to "create" ....POPERA!
She did know how to sing, she had the voice, she knew all there is to know about singing,.... but she preferred to let out these awful sounds...... dommage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is true. I've heard a clip from her disastrous 1969 Met Lucia and the middle is gone. But the top is still there. I have heard that her vocal decline was caused more by emotional problems than by physical.
Thanks. I realized it when I was watching your other videos that must have been done at the same time. They stated 1975, but this one didn't. Oh well!
Gorgeous --- both the lady AND her voice !! Brava !!

I think her vocal catastrophe was rather caused by some technical deffects that are easy to notice in many of her recordings, even in her best.
