Congratulations to "Spiritual Journey" for winning the 93rd Oscar Award for Best Animated Feature Film & Best Original Soundtrack.

After watching this film, I have a better understanding of why Jamie Fox should be dubbed in "Spiritual Journey". The life deeds of the real celebrity Ray Charles in "The King of Souls" involved drug abuse, cheating and other bad behaviors.
