The artists/songwriters on this one are David Hartfield and Robert Hartfield (check out the "heart" in the label logo, and what looks like a "Z" is "f").

Don't know anything about it apart from that it has been suggested that it is by the same Hartfield Brothers that issued a 45 on BOOLA-BOOLA. Doesn't really sound like it though!

Would they both be Bay area things? HTG looks like it could be Clarence Coulter on production(?)

David Hartfield has also got the following titles registered with BMI:

"Let's Start Praising The Lord", "O Lord", "Just Gonna Be That Way" and "All The Way".

Considering that, and the fact that WINNING STAR is registered with the following address over at BMI:

WINNING STAR MUSIC

349 S 9TH ST

RICHMOND, CA 94804-2405

...it's not too far of a stretch that it's the same David Hartfield that nowadays is a bishop in the Free Light Of The World church in Fresno, CA:

I might ofcourse be totally wrong about this though!

Good catch. Yes this seems to be the same Hartfield Brothers that did something on Boola-Boola. It sounds different, but there's a lot of time in between those releases.

I had no idea that he's a bishop in Fresno now.

I was surprised that I couldn't turn up any info on it online (I submitted this 45 to the Stanley and Bianca database). I am pretty sure that the "Winning Star Records" Richmond address is no longer active.

The second one was found in the Bay Area, but is certainly not from the Bay Area. Yes, it looks like Clarence Coulter is behind this. I am surprised I couldn't find anything about this one either.
