This was a new title on me, and my searches on the internet seem to point, not to F&A, but to Norman Long as being the recording artiste concerned. Much to my shame Norman's name was new to me too. I was born and grew-up in South London, and attended Sedgehill Comprehensive, just a stone's throw from Sydenham. Anyway ... I digress ... I've managed to locate an MP3 download of Norman Long performing "Ten Pahnds Dahn" and I intend to feature it on-air very soon. However, I can't seem to find confirmation of the composer or publisher of the 'song'. Did Norman write it in collaboration with somebody called "Pounds" or did Norman take sole credit? If you're able to answer my query, and perhaps confirm the name of the publisher too, that would be brilliant.
