Nutbush City Limits by Tina Turner

This song is energising to listen to, and no matter which version I listen to, there's a raw power in the delivery that is exciting. 

Tina Turner is obviously the one most people are familiar with, when it comes to this song, but there have been several women that have put their own slant on it. Each one combines powerful vocals, and energetic dance moves, in a nod to Tina's version. 

My personal favourite cover of the song is Courtney, a 12 year old who auditioned on Voice Kids with it. She combines a powerful and raspy voice with dance moves she's copied from James Brown, and is extraordinary. 

Here are a few of the different versions, I've come across.
