I happened to find this website with some great downloads for the Commodore 64. Some compilers and some interpretators, like Simon’s Basic. Simon’s Basic extended the extremely frugal Commodore Basic 2.0 that was built in the C64. It sort of turned the C64 into a Commodore 128 by providing new sets of instructions for sound, graphics and input. The complete manual can be downloaded as a PDF from here.
The band Barcelona named an album Simon Basic as a tribute to this programming language.
