Snowing in the East on Christmas – Joseph Washington Jr.

I can’t find any information about Joseph Washington Jr. I have no idea who he is but in 1983 he put out a funky and soulful Christmas album. The song reminds me of something Isaac Hayes would sing. Some of the lyrics make me laugh but the song has made it to the list.
