Evolution is the fifth studio album by American rock band Journey. Released in March 1979 on Columbia Records, it is their first album to feature drummer Steve Smith.

It was the band’s most successful album at that time, selling three million copies in the US and charting at No. 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart. They retained Roy Thomas Baker (best known for his work with Queen) as producer, but drummer Aynsley Dunbar was replaced with Smith, formerly with Ronnie Montrose’s band.

Evolution features their first top 20 hit, “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’”, which was inspired by the classic Sam Cooke top 20 hit “Nothin’ Can Change This Love” and reached No. 16 in the US. “Just the Same Way” featured original lead vocalist Gregg Rolie along with Steve Perry.
