I've been looking for a possible movie. A couple of possibilities are "Susie Q" (1996 TV movie) and "Earth Angel" (1991 TV movie), both of which feature the ghost of a girl. Susie is from the Fifties; Angela, from the Sixties.

"Last Kiss" is not listed on the "Susie Q" soundtrack. I can't find a listing of songs used in "Earth Angel". // I've branched out in my search and still have had no luck. The Wikipedia site for the song doesn't list movies it's used in.
I'll keep looking!

"Last Kiss" is a song that was written by Wayne Cochran in 1962 and originally performed by Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders, although their version of the song had little success. The song was later covered by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, Wednesday, Pearl Jam, and several international artists, all of whom had success with the song. Wayne Cochran was initially inspired to write "Last Kiss" after having lived near a dangerous highway where several accidents had occurred yearly. Cochran began writing the song in 1956. He came up with the song's chord progression, first verse, and chorus, although more than five years would pass before Cochran finished the song.
There's also this about the best-known (for most) version of the song:
J. Frank Wilson (December 11, 1941-October 4, 1991) was the lead vocalist for J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers. Born in Lufkin, Texas, he joined the Cavaliers after his discharge from Goodfellow Air Force Base (San Angelo, Texas) in 1962. The Cavaliers' first chart hit was "Last Kiss". First released on Le Cam (722) and then on Tamara (761), it became a hit in June 1964 on Josie Records (Josie 923). It reached the Top 10 in October — eventually reaching as high as number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning the band a gold record.

"Last Kiss" was an enormous hit when I was in junior high. EVERYONE knew the lyrics, and we girls always cried. There was a rash of "dead teenager" songs that include "Tell Laura I Love Her", "Dead Man's Curve", "Leader of the Pack", "Around the Corner", and "Teen Angel". So many death songs were hitting the charts that there was a novelty song in response to it: "Let's Think About Living" by Bob Luman! I have all these singles in my good ol' 45 collection~45 rpm, that is.
