Beyoncé Reveals Stevie Wonder Played Harmonica on ‘Jolene’ Cover, Thanks Him During iHeartRadio Awards Speech


Beyoncé revealed that Stevie Wonder played harominca on her 'Jolene' cover while accepting the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Production and songwriter credits for Beyoncé’s new album “Cowboy Carter” hit streaming services this past weekend, but she’s got a few more surprises in store when it comes to the musicians who played on the record. Parton, who appears twice on the record, initially released “Jolene” as a pleading ode to a woman in hopes that she wouldn’t steal her man, while Beyoncé flipped the narrative into a sneering warning towards a suitor coming for her husband. So, to all the record labels, every radio station, every award show, my hope is that we’re more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions.
