PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31. 2002 i NEWS OBITUARIES D.6 WILIIAM E. SPRACUE i. Top TOM D0WD Innovative recording engineer, producer for rock and jazz acts advertising executive for 30 years 2002 photo William E. Sprague tisement that he was able to persuade Time executives to run in the magazine.

A year later, he was elected to a fermanent honorary position on ime's staff. "He was the kind of man people gravitated towards because he was so personable," said Cliff Miller, who first met Mr. Sprague in 1971 when both men worked at Ketchum MacLeod Grove. "He would walk the halls of the agency and talk to you. It didn't matter who you were." Miller also remembers Mr.

Sprague as being a great teacher and someone he looked up to. "He was just an incredible motivator," he said. "I would do anything for him at the drop of a hat. Everybody loved him, and his clients really appreciated and respected the value he brought to their business." That appreciation was demonstrated in 1977, when Mr. Sprague was able to bring a multimillion Stouffer Frozen Foods account from Ketchum to CreamerFSR, where he eventually became chairman and CEO.

"He had a magnetic personality," said friend and colleague Howard Git-tins. "People were drawn to him because he saw the good in people. But he was also creative and a risk taker, and the clients respected that." In addition to his wife, Mr. Sprague is survived by three sons, Andrew of Paradise, David of Albur-querque, N.M., and Scott of Pheonix; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandson. A memorial service will be held at 3:30 p.m.

Saturday in Fox Chapel Episcopal Church, 630 Squaw Run Road East. Nate Guidry can be reached at or By Nate Guidry Post-Gazotte Staff Writer William E. Sprague, a towering advertising executive who persuaded Time magazine in the late 1950s to publish its first full-page, four-color advertisement directed toward women, died Saturday of pulmonary complications at UPMC Shadyside. He was 79. Since his retirement in 1990, Mr.

Sprague and his wife of 54 years, Nancy, split their time between homes in Fox Chapel and Albuquerque, N.M. In a career that spanned four decades, Mr. Sprague was known for his charisma and wisdom, mentoring hundreds of advertising upstarts. When he wasn't working and teaching younger executives the nuances of. the advertising business, friends said he enjoyed golf and fishing.

He held memberships in the Duquesne Club and the Fox Chapel Golf Club. "There are a lot of people in this town, that were influenced by him," said Ann McFadden, who originally met Mr. Sprague in the late 1960s when they both worked at Ketchum MacLeod Grove. "If you don't have a mentor, you don't have anyone to lead you through the maze." One day, Mr. Sprague told McFadden after she had received a huge account to remember not to forget the smaller ones.

"He told me that just because I had received a brand new baby, there were other children in the dining room that could be starving for attention." Even in retirement, Mr. Sprague was recognized for his contributions. Earlier this year, he was inducted into the Pittsburgh Advertising Federation Hall of Fame. The award is presented annually to members of Pittsburgh's advertising community. "He had a genius for getting the gles stand out.

At Atlantic in the early 1950s, he suggested that the company build a control room in its Midtown offices, which doubled as a studio for nearly a decade; the stairwell was used as an echo chamber. He pushed the label to switch from recording on acetate discs to using tape, and he made -some of the first commercial stereo recordings: binaural recordings, with a separate needle playing each channel. "We were recording everything in stereo long before there was any significant market for it," Ertegun said. Mr. Dowd also had Atlantic buy the second eight-track multitrack recorder ever made; Les Paul had the first one.

Dowd designed and built Atlantic's first stereo and eight-track consoles. He recorded Atlantic's jazz roster, which included the Modern Jazz Quartet, Charles Min-gus, Freddie Hubbard, Coleman and Coltrane; he also recorded pop and rhythm-and-blues hits for Bobby Darin, Ruth Brown, Solomon Burke, the Clovers and the Drifters. In the' 1960s, he recorded Cream, Franklin, Dusty Springfield and many other rock and jazz musi-' cians, eventually earning credit as producer as well as engineer. He left Atlantic in the late 1960s to work as a freelance producer. In 1967 Mr.

Dowd moved to Miami, where he worked mostly at Criteria Sound Studios. But he continued to make albums in London, New York, Los Angeles, the Bahamas and elsewhere. Musicians like Clapton came to depend on his advice as well as his technical skill. Mr. Dowd shaped the sound of Southern rock as the producer for Lynyrd Skynyrd and in a long association with the Allman Brothers Band.

He continued to make albums until earlier this year. In 2002, he received a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Grammy organization. A documentary, "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music," is scheduled for release early next year. By Jon Pareles The Now York Times NEW YORK Tom Dowd, an innovative recording engineer and producer who made noted albums with John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Otis Redding, Eric Clapton, the All-man Brothers and many other musicians, died on Sunday in Aventura, near Miami. He was 77 and had lived until recently in Miami.

The cause was emphysema, said his daughter, Dana Dowd. Mr. Dowd was a pioneer of stereo and multi-track tape recording. But as a producer he was renowned for recordings that sounded natural, making the listener feel he was in the same room as the performer. As the engineer or producer for Coltrane's "Giant Steps," Ray Charles' "What'd I Say," Ben E.

King's "Stand By Me," Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and Derek and the Domi-nos' "Layla," his signature was a self-effacing clarity and warmth. "There is no one who better epitomizes the ideal marriage of technical excellence and true creativity," said Ahmet Ertegun, the chairman of Atlantic Records, in a 1999 speech. Mr. Dowd was a staff engineer at Atlantic for 25 years. He grew up in Manhattan.

His father was a theater producer, and his mother was trained as an opera singer. He studied piano and violin, and after he graduated from Stuyyesant High School at 16, he attended Columbia University. Working in the physics department, he operated the cyclotron, a particle accelerator. When he enlisted at 18, the Army sent him back to Columbia to work on the Manhattan Project, which produced the atomic bomb. After World War II, he worked for the Voice of America and became a freelance recording engineer until he was hired full time by Atlantic, then a fledgling independent label.

Mr. Dowd's clear, forceful recordings he captured drums and bass playing at full volume without distortion helped make Atlantic sin best out of everyone," said friend and former colleague Bill Genge, who worked with Mr. Sprague at Ketchum Communication, formerly Ketchum MacLeod Grove. "He was extremely creative and worked very well with the creative pool. His clients had total confidence in him." Mr.

Sprague grew up Canton, Ohio, where he graduated from high school. After spending more than three years in the Army during World War II, Mr. Sprague enrolled at Miami University of Ohio, from which he graduated in 1947 with a degree in chemistry. He began his career initially as a sales promotion manager for the Cleveland-based WHK radio station. In 1951, he went to work in account services for Gerst Sylvester Walsh, an advertising agency in Cleveland.

But in 1957, Ketchum MacLeod Grove came calling, and Mr. Sprague moved to Pittsburgh. For the next 20 years he managed some of the agency's most prestigious accounts, including Iron City, Alcoa, Westing-house, Consolidated Gas, Stouffer's, Nestle, PPG and Tappan. It was the four-page, four-color Tappan adver LATEST DEATHS To our readers: The Post-Gazetle publishes two types of obituaries.
