From a Jack to a King is a country music song. Originally a crossover hit for artist Ned Miller, who also wrote "Dark Moon", "A Falling Star", and many other Country songs, the song was later covered by country music artist Ricky Van Shelton in late 1988, becoming Shelton's fourth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The original version was recorded by Ned Miller, from Rains (near Vernal), Utah. First released in 1957, Ned's version was unsuccessful, until he persuaded his label to re-release it five years later. Upon re-release, the song became a crossover hit, charting in the Top 10 on the Billboard U.S. country (#2), pop (#6), and adult contemporary (#3) charts. In addition, Miller's version peaked at Number Two on the singles charts in the United Kingdom; furthermore, it was the sixth most-played single of 1963 in the United Kingdom. Ned's chart success was limited after the song, however, and by the 1970s he stopped recording entirely. [1] |
