This article is devoted to the study of a certain class of smooth circle-valued functions on a cylinder S1× [0,1], a torus T2, a disk D2 and a sphere S2 which is a generalization of Morse-Bott functions without saddles. We established a "normal form" for functions from this class, namely, we proved that any such function f can be presented in the form f = \varkappa∘ f0∘ h-1, where f0 is the ``simplest'' Morse function on the given surface for some diffeomorphism h and a smooth function \varkappa satisfying some natural conditions.
