In 1955, "The Man With the Golden Arm" debuted, starring @FrankSinatra, Eleanor Parker, and Kim Novak. For a young Diane Vitalich, Elmer Bernstein’s bold, swinging score—especially the high hat on "Clark Street"—was pure inspiration, fueling her love for rhythm and drums.

This Women Who Rock Wednesday, we spotlight Elizabeth Cotten, whose "Cotten picking" style flipped convention. Playing a right-handed guitar upside down, she used her thumb for melody and fingers for bass, crafting a sound that redefined folk and blues music.
