Care swains I know that you discover in my form a thousand charms, can you pint me out a lover worth ,y encircling arms. Boy no more approach my beauty 'till you equal merrit boast, to adore me is aduty thousands witnesses to their Cost. Stung to the heart the reclining swain, on the vain maid retorts again foolish creature did each feature bloom beyond the pride of nature, artful feigning, Coy disdaining, vain coquet destroy them all, go o'erbearing, proud ensnaring, lay a thousand fops despairing, then complying, sighing, dying, to some fool a victim fall nymphs like you whilst their deceiving, Angels all in front appear but ye sot their arts believing but ye sot their arts believing finds ye devil in ye rear.".

Studio portrait of the Five Percolators posed in coordinated light suits with dark ties, arranged in a low, forward-leaning formation common in some early 1930s Black vocal harmony ensembles. The group was active during the early to mid 1930s, performing with Cab Callowaywho apparently signed them to begin with out of Buffaloand others as a downticket act supporting larger acts. The Buffalo Times noted that the Five Percolators "round out Cab's act on the Buffalo stage," identifying Buffalo as the hometown of members Cliff and Jimmy Moore and stating that the group performed in Buffalo night spots before "hitting out for New York where Cab signed them up."[1] The lower portion of the card bears the printed seasonal greeting: "With sincere wishes for your happiness at Christmas and throughout the New Year," with FIVE PERCOLATERS printed at bottom. A bold contemporary inscription reads: "To a beautiful little girl hoping I see more of you James," likely signed by the aforementioned James or Jimmy Moore. The group usually appeared downticket, but newspapers note that they headlined a show in 1933 at the Criterion Ballroom in New Jersey. Contemporary press accounts range from describing them as "percolat(ing) harmony and taps with skill," to lamenting "the excessively loud shouting of one of the tall fellows who plays the guitar" in the performance at Calloway's High Court of Hi-De-Ho show of 1935. By 1936 the group disappeared from the scene. [1] "Percolators," The Buffalo Times, December 2, 1934, 59. Minor edge wear; strong tonal range, near fine.
