When did Music Features become popular?

Starting to realize that features used to be very rare. And all of a sudden every major artist has features just bombarding their albums / singles. I understand that it is there to make money by the industry, but when did it start and why so late? The pressure of the music industry was already heavy back in the days, but why did no one ever get the idea of like: hey lets have the stones hop on this next beatles album (for example)? And even if it was not for the money, just artistic collaborations?
