Last Kiss - Wayne Cocharan - Pearl Jam - Kirk Llewellyn
The Almost Famous Kirk Llewellyn of the band Levittown Highlanders performs Last Kiss with Mr Bogus at the Herbert Hoover Elementary Christmas Party 2007. Look for another video from Kirk real soon (subscribe to uploads). "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.
Cochran based the song on an incident in which several teens were killed and two seriously injured when their car struck a flatbed logging truck. 16 year old Jeanette Clark was out on a date in Barnesville, Georgia on December 22, 1962, the Saturday before Christmas. She was with a group of friends in a '54 Chevrolet. J. L. Hancock, also sixteen, was driving the car in heavy traffic and while traveling on Highway 341, collided with a trailer truck. Jeanette, the driver and another teenager were killed, and two other teens in the car were seriously injured. Cochran dedicated the song to Miss Clark.
