I will start by saying Ricky Van Shelton's From A Jack To A King (#1 in 1989) barely outpeaked the original by Ned Miller (#2 in 1962). Any others?

Reba then did it in 1991 and it peaked at #8 on the same chart, and became somewhat of a signature Reba hit.

Love the Amanda, Tennessee Flat Top Box, and Fancy examples. Here's another one: Ain't She Somethin' Else. #46 for Eddy Raven in 1974, #1 for Conway Twitty in 1985.
