March 4, 201411 yr I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...."
March 4, 201411 yr Gimme two boss lines baby it's r & b time I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...." If not taken directly from it then referring to the same thing at least ie dance instructions. Boss lines are the same as strong lines. You learn to do something then do it with confidence - I reckon this is two lines of people primed and ready to go. Or actually doing the steps in a line more likely.

March 4, 201411 yr Think it's just ... "Give Me Two Bars A Line...Baby It's R & B Time" what would that mean..?
March 4, 201411 yr Assume as in music... Two Bar, Double Bar, etc. I still don't understand what that instruction would mean. "two bars a line" Sorry.
March 4, 201411 yr I still don't understand what that instruction would mean. "two bars a line" Sorry. Just a suggestion of what I thought it might be, quite possibly doesn't make sense.
March 4, 201411 yr Just a suggestion of what I thought it might be, quite possibly doesn't make sense. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last that any of us joyfully bellow the wrong words to a song
March 4, 201411 yr Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last that any of us joyfully bellow the wrong words to a song Very true And you never know, the musicians in the studio could have given him a puzzled look and thought, "What the hells he on about" ,
March 4, 201411 yr Very true And you never know, the musicians in the studio could have given him a puzzled look and thought, "What the hells he on about" , Especially when he says "oh, Uncle Willie was never like this...."
March 4, 201411 yr Especially when he says "oh, Uncle Willie was never like this...."Uncle Willie was a dance in Chicago which was probably a bit out of date when R&B time was recorded.The Chess TV documentary on TV last Saturday had a good clip of dancers in the US dancing in lines, girls in one line and the guys facing them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH7LRnyCLoc

Thanks Rick, I did know that actually but was making a small joke. Besides, I was probably getting mixed up with the time when Brian Poole and the Tremeloes got their Uncle Willies out on Blue Peter. BBC in the 60s eh? Tish. I nonetheless look forward to you doing a personal demonstration with regard to how I can learn to shimmy like your sister Kate
March 4, 201411 yr It's always been a favourite of mine, hence my signature at the bottom(Which I've probably misquoted!!!!!) Paul
March 5, 201411 yr I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...." yes its a Madison.......with slightly altered lyrics (e.g" two boss lines" ).......ive got the sheet music to Ray Bryants 1960 orig....which uses "freeze"....."hit it"..."your lookin good"...etc.......
