Looking for Old Timey music. (Sinatra, Crosby era)

I'm a younger guy so I don't many singers from this period. Did a quick google search and apparently these guys are labeled "crooners". Anybody have suggestions for me? I'm looking for people with a similar style to Sinatra, Crosby, Martin.
Stuff like "Fly me to the moon" "The Way You Look Tonight" I guess would more accurately describe what I'm looking for.

This thread might help you get started. Also check out this one.
Note that in music circles the term "Old Timey" generally refers to something else entirely, the acoustic blues and country music made before rock and roll. You can find samples of that here.

Crooners - that's a long and distinguished list.
My mom and dad loved crooners and I grew up listening to a lot of croon(?).
Dean Martin, Andy Williams, and Frankie Laine were their favorites.
Heres a link I found that has a good starting point, old and new. Just pick a name and jump to Youtube and see if you like. There's also a long list in Wikipedia. Or just try a crooner channel on Youtube.
Famous Crooner list
A lot of these singers did a lot more than croon. Elvis could croon with the best.
The best crooner of all time was Bing Crosby.

Get Sinatra's "Frank Sinatra Sings Only for the Lonely." Whatever else you do, do this.
