Question
It was a mellow sounding song on an album I had (I thought it was Quicksilver- but can't seem to locate a song by them by the same name) the song was called Collosus or at least it had that name in the chorus.  I can't recall the words, just that one name.  

Answer
WOW,  that really is not a lot to go on.   
 I am going to take a wild stab,  and suggest perhaps it might be "Tales of Brave Ulysses "  by Cream.   
 Please check that song out and if it is not it,  see if you can think of anything else.  
 Also, what instruments come to mind,  guitars?  acoustic guitars?  organ?  piano?.  Loud heavy drums, or kind of soft jazzy drums?   Lots of reverb on the voices, or very dry sounding?

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
