The roots of reggae go back to music styles like ska and rocksteady. One of the first to create this style was New York based soul singer Doris Troy, who made a fortune with her often covered song "Just One Look."
She was the daughter of a Barbadian preacher, so the Caribbean influences were there from the beginning.

The first global hit in that style was a cover version of a 1950s song, in 1964 updated by Jamaican singer Millie Small.
