John Collins Dawson IV (June 16, 1945 – July 21, 2009), nicknamed "Marmaduke", was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was best known as the leader and co-founder of the country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage.
Musical career
John Dawson was born in Chicago. His family moved to California in 1952. The son of a Los Altos Hills, California filmmaker, he took guitar lessons from a teacher and friend from the Peninsula School in Menlo Park, California. For high school he attended the Millbrook School near Millbrook, New York. While at Millbrook, he took courses in music theory & history and sang in the glee club.
Earl of Portarlington is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1785 for John Dawson, 1st Earl of Portarlington, who had earlier represented Portarlington in the Irish House of Commons. He was the son of William Dawson, 1st Viscount Carlow, who had represented Portarlington and Queen's County in the Irish House of Commons, and had been created Baron Dawson, of Dawson's Court in the Queen's County, in 1770, and Viscount Carlow, in the County of Carlow, in 1776. These titles were also in the Peerage of Ireland. The first Earl was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl. He was a Colonel in the 23rd Dragoons but disappeared the night before the Battle of Waterloo and thus missed the start of the battle. He then attached himself to the 18th Hussars, but after the battle was forced to resign his commission in disgrace, fell into dissipation and 'died in an obscure London slum'.
He never married and was succeeded by his nephew, the third Earl. He was the son of Captain the Hon. Henry Dawson, second son of the first Earl, who had assumed by Sign Manual the additional surname of Damer on inheriting the large Milton Abbey estate in Dorset from his aunt Lady Caroline Damer. Lord Portarlington sat in the House of Lords as an Irish Representative Peer from 1855 to 1889.
John Dawson, 2nd Earl of Portarlington (26February 1781–28December 1845) was a British Army officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.
Family
He was the son of John Dawson, 1st Earl of Portarlington (1744–1798) who had been created Earl of Portarlington in 1785. His mother was Lady Caroline Stuart (before 1763–1813) the fifth daughter of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute.
Career
He began his career as an ensign in the 20th Foot in March 1798 and was promoted to Lieutenant in December of the same year. On 24March 1800 he was promoted to captain in the 46th Foot before transferring to the 23rd Light Dragoons. After a spell as a major in the 4th Garrison Battalion and as a lieutenant colonel in the 10th Foot he returned to the 23rd Dragoons on 6April 1809.
Dawson served during the Peninsular Campaign and at the Battle of Talavera.
Waterloo Campaign
Although he commanded his regiment at the Battle of Quatre Bras on October 16–17, 1815, Dawson failed to appear at the head of his dragoons on the morning the Battle of Waterloo a day later. The reason for his non-appearance is unknown but it has been speculated that he was advised not to go by a surgeon or that "he had betaken himself that same evening to Brussels or elsewhere." Although he joined the 18th Hussars towards the end of the battle and took part in Major General Sir Hussey Vivian's decisive charge, he resigned from the army shortly afterwards.

I Like The World With You In It
Written and performed by John Dawson, from his album Come Out Swinging, available here:
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/johndawson4/come-out-swinging-2
I like the world with you in it
With you it's a beautiful place
Cause every day you light my way
With the sunshine from your face
Without you I could play the game
But with you I can win it
Ever since we met I knew
I like the world with you in it
I’m glad that you're on this planet
During this brief moment in time
The coincidence of our existence
Really blows my mind
And when the times are tough
Your loving helps me bear and grin it
You can make the gray skies blue
I like the world with you in it
Sometimes we fight or have regrets
And we complain about the rain or sun or snow
Then life reminds us that it's over in a minute

Then life reminds us that it's over in a minute
Which is why it's so important that you know
I like the world with you in it
How could I be so blessed?
Out of all the possible universes
I like this one best
And if love makes the world go round
I'd like you to spin it
Just hold tight when you do
Cause I like the world with you in it
