She also disclosed that Wonder performed the harmonica on her cover of Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit “Jolene.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you so much, Stevie; I love you. “I love you and honor you,” Bey began as she joined the 73-year-old onstage. “I would like to thank you for making a way for all of us. I’m thrilled to be recognized by you, Stevie Wonder. When someone asks me who I can listen to for the rest of my life, I always say you. So thank you, and God bless you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Act II song has a twist on Parton’s original lyric, in which she begs a promiscuous lady to leave her guy alone. In Bey’s interpretation, she warns the woman to focus on the business that pays her. Since its debut, the tune has gotten mixed reviews, with some praising the cover’s creativity and others remaining loyal to the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
