1964 Jamaica to Paris not London?

I'm looking at historical flights from Jamaica and the USA to London, but notice that people flew to Paris first then London rather than direct.

Why would that have been?

For example, Stevie Wonder flew to the UK for the first time in 1962, but did so via Paris. It's true of other musicians too. It wasn't that they performed in Paris before coming to London.

Were direct flights to London more expensive or was Paris a hub for such flights?

Any help very much appreciated.
