 The practice of pairing singers with deejays for a performance is older than reggae itself.  In 1950s and 60s Jamaica, the deejay talked on the microphone to introduce songs and impress the crowd while the selector selected which instrumental rhythms the deejay would talk over.  Subsequently, reggae artists of the 1970s and 80s more often than not performed with sound systems and selectors rather than a full band and because most of these performances took place in large halls to accommodate the crowds, the dancehall spirit has always been closely linked to singers and sound systems.
