His voice was used as Denver’s in a made-for-TV movie on CBS, “Take Me Home: The John Denver Story.”

Pete Huttlinger, who played guitar for Denver, said Curry’s voice captures the sound and persona of Denver.

“Jim Curry was over there sounding like John Denver,” Huttlinger said. “A couple of times I closed my eyes and went back 15 years.”
