While a lot of the music that she is most often identified with was, shall we say, of a different era, in my entirely subjective opinion Connie Francis had the best overall combination of voice, talent, looks, and versatility (recording numerous genres in approximately 15 different languages) of any popular (non-classical, non-opera) female singer I have ever heard.
While a sentimental ballad such as "Al Di La" will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea, try to imagine it being done more perfectly than in this 1964 live performance, I believe on the Ed Sullivan TV show.
IMO.
