Nobody had de-essers before the late 1960s!
First and foremost it's about microphone choice. Teach the singer to turn slightly off-mike or pass their hand in front of their mouth during esses and pops. Sometimes just singing across the face of the mike works. A quiet studio and greater distance from the mike reduces (often eliminates) the amount of compression needed significantly and the amount of esses and pops with it.
