If you like Buble but want some more period-specific stuff, you can't go wrong with Bobby Darin. His album stuff is more standard, but live he is a total ham.

And if you want fast-paced vocals in this genre, you cannot go wrong with the best concert album ever, Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie in 1966. Conducted by Quincy Jones. Buy it now and thank me later.

The Rat Pack live at the Sands - there are a ton of jokes, it's as much a comedy album as a performance.

The thing about these singers is that Sinatra always got first pick of the new songs and thus has the best catalog. So I don't really have any Dean Martin to recommend (Ain't That a Kick in the Head is great though). However there is one Sammy Davis Jr. album that really stands out, Live at the Cocoanut Grove. I had no idea it was this expensive until just now, but it's worth getting used. http://www.amazon.com/Cocoanut-Grove-Sammy-Jr-Davis/dp/B00005JGAL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393819115&sr=8-1&keywords=sammy+davis+coconut+grove

If you like that, check out Stan Kenton's Minor Riff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM_Eyu_t-eM
What else - this is uncharacteristic for him, but check out George Michael doing Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? with Pavarotti and Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_cZjgThPks
Happy hunting!
