In 1971, Frank Zappa invited John Lennon and Yoko Ono on stage at the Filmore East. The gig was recorded because Frank was producing the Live at Filmore East album. The set was hardly anything to write home about however Frank gave Lennon copies of the master tapes. Later, and without Frank's consent, Lennon used the King Kong tune, renamed Jamrag and it was credited to Lennon/Ono on the Sometime in New York City album. (Never trust a scouse.)
The set featured some appalling screaming from Ono and was excruciating. Zappa never used it on the Filmore album. But shortly before Zappa's death it did feature on a later release Playground Psychotics , re-entitled Scumbag. Another track featuring Ono's dreadful "vocals" was A Small Eternity with Yoko Ono and this was carefully credited to Lennon/Ono.
It's probably fair to say Zappa was not a fan and this was not a successful collaboration.1 -

Gould again, this time with another Lenny...
Two great egos collides and collaborate. The speech in the beginning in itself is a masterpiece.
Ahh... and somewhere in there the Brahms great D minor piano concerto
