Well the swing era was from the 1930s through the 1940s.

For that, look up Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller (just to name a few).

For something that's swing and a little different, look up Nat King Cole Trio, Cats and The Fiddle, Slim Gailard and Slam Stewart, Fats Waller and Django Reinhardt.

The late 1940s and Early 1950s was the era of Rhythm and Blues, Jump Blues, and Early Rock and Roll. Artists you should look up include Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, Wynonie Harris, Bill Haley and His Comets, Big Joe Turner, Tennessee Erine Ford, Big Mama Thorton, and Dinah Washington

For the Late 50s and 60s, you jump into the Rock n' Roll Era, along with Soul era. Look up artists (aside from the ones you mentioned) The Big Bopper, Bobby Darin, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook.

This is just a tip of the ice burg when it comes to pop music of this era. Remember that before TVs started appearing in people's homes in the 1950s, most people listened to the radio and to records, so there's literally thousands and thousands of artists/recordings from this era.
