Curci has a multi-octave vocal range and holds the Guinness World Record for Longest Note Held in a pop song, for 30 seconds, timed and submitted by University of Houston, for the ending note of "When I'm With You."

Curci's vocals earned the Sheriff song "When I'm With You" the number 1 spot in 1989 and the Alias power ballad "More Than Words Can Say" the number 2 spot in 1990 on the Billboard charts.

BMI presented Curci with the Million-airs award for "More Than Words Can Say." According to BMI’s web site, only 1,500 songs have achieved Million-air status (one million air plays) among the 4.5 million songs by 300,000 BMI represented artists. One million performances is the equivalent of approximately 50,000 broadcast hours, or more than 5.7 years of continuous airplay.

In January 2009, Alias announced the release of their long delayed second album. This album titled Never Say Never sat unreleased for 18 years. The second album was recorded in 1992 to follow Alias's debut album, but it was never released due to the rapidly evolving music scene of that time where Grunge was the new rage and metal was out. A few of the songs from this “lost” album were re-recorded and appeared on Curci’s solo album Dreamer’s Road, but the rest remained unreleased. Some live performances are expected in 2009 in support of this new album release, but tour dates and band member lineup are yet to be announced.

Curci is one of the few rock vocalists with multi-octave singing ranges able to hit high notes without resorting to falsetto.
