I remember some years ago seeing a collection of 100 different recordings/arrangements of Gershwin's 'Summertime' that had been done by a variety of folks since its composition.

Thomas Crecquillon wrote "Ung Gay Bergier" (A Happy Shepherd?) in the first half of the 16th century. It became one of the greatest hits of the next few decades inspiring nearly three dozen known versions for keyboard and lute. For instance, Simone Molinaro published an elaborated intabulation for lute
more than 50 years later.

By analogy, in the 21st century, what is today's equivalent of "Ung Gay Bergier," i.e. a piece of music decades old that is a favorite for recasting
in new arrangements?
