After doing a few odd jobs and following in his fathers footsteps and becoming a preacher for several years Baldwin moved to Paris where he lived for the next four years.It was during these years that his career jump started with his first hit GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Despite his talents they were hardly allowed to be used due to the fact his deeply religious parents disapproved of his interest in literature and wanted him to pursue in the church. As a young boy in Harlem, his talent with words was seen. James Baldwin was the author of many works such as Giovanni's Room, Another Country, and The Fire Next Time.
