I am thrilled to the core of my soul by the award that has been given to me.
Every time I am surprised by the amount of love I receive and I am happy that whole generations enjoy the songs, listen to them and sing them together.
My work over the years is connected to many people, and one of them, a particularly beloved man, is the late Eric Einstein," said Josie Katz after learning of her win.
