In Memorium DAVID “DEE DEE” EMANUEL DAWSON, Sr. September 4, 1935 – October 24, 2016 In the early 70”s Dee Dee and Percy Taylor co-owned and managed the Royal Palm Night Club, a multi entertainment establishment. They put their heads together and opened up a restaurant with dance/pool hall capacity. If you liked dancing, then the Royal Palm was the place to go. The relaxed atmosphere drew people from across the island and from all walks of life. If you didn’t go to one of the dances there, you really missed out. The very first Jouvert began at the Royal Palm with music provided by the Lavis Count Brass who hailed from the island of Antigua. People were jamming; they danced from Smith Bay to town. In later years, they extended the tramp down the waterfront and up through main street. A good time was had by all: people just loved the revelry. Milo and the Kings, other popular bands such as Tremile and Jamals, the Lavis Count Brass, and bands from across the Caribbean, were regulars there. Additionally, these two men organized trips for local bands to travel to places like Antigua, the BVI, and Trinidad to participate in their carnivals. The Virgin Islands Carnival Committee recognized Dee Dee & Percy Taylor as the 2014 Village Honorees for their contributions to Carnival as creating the first Jouvert from Smith Bay to Charlotte Amalie and providing Royal Palm Night Club, as an entertainment venue for Carnival revelers. Dee Dee was very proud of the members of his immediate family which included his wife Joan S. Pilgrim Dawson, his children Cherrie, Nicole, and David Jr. He had six wonderful grandchildren on whom he unselfishly doted. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 48 A Centennial Commemoration for our 65th Celebration
