Could a movie theme song (including the singer) could add impact to a certain movie?

I observed that every movie had a movie theme song attached to it, be it on the first part, middle and at the end of the movie.

Certainly! Some of the movies are famous for their theme songs or OST.
In the 70's and 80's, if you can't make money from the movie, at least you can make some money from the soundtracks.

These are some of my fav:

1. The Godfather-1972
Andy Williams' Speak Softly, Love (from 'The Godfather')

2. Saturday Nite Fever -1977
Stayin Alive - The Bee Gees
The beginning of Disco Fever:

3. Grease -1978
Grease-Frankie Valli

4. Rocky - 1976
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

5. St Elmo's Fire -1985
St Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) - John Parr

6. Back to the future -1985
The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News

Yes! It happens! For example, I think the following songs (and singers) did that:

- Song: “What a feeling” (Irene Cara) – Movie: “Flashdance”
- Song “Unchained Melody” (Righteous Brothers) – Movie: “Ghost”
- Song “Theme from Dying Young” (Kenny G) – Movie: “Dying Young”
(People can not separate movies from songs here)
