Album About Food Wins Kid’s Grammy

Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer have won their first Grammy Award in the Best Musical Album for Children category. Bon Appetit! Musical Food Fun celebrates eating and responsible food usage with a variety of folk songs. Although the duo’s work for family audiences has garnered them 8 Grammy nominations since they teamed up in 1984, Fink and Marxer are talented singer/songwriters who also write music geared towards adults, including Fink’s song Names, an anthem for the AIDs memorial quilt. The Best Spoken Word Album for Children prize was awarded to a new recording of Serge Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Jean-Pascal Beintus update Wolf Tracks that includes the voices of Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev and Sophia Loren.
