Of course it's not NECESSARY to learn C before learning C++. Nothing is necessary. You can start with assembler code if you like. However C is a subset of C++ and as has been said, is for embedded applications etc. It is true that everything you can do in C you can do in C++ another way but you don't ever have to unlearn C as all C syntax is understood by C++ compilers.

ZFR - what concepts can't you grasp? If you've done C, I take it you are clear on pointers, dereferncing them etc. - this is what got me years ago when I was learning. If you've got that than are you having trouble with the object oriented features of C++? That is why Java is nice as all the concepts are the same without you having to handle the memory management as you do in C++ where everything has to have destructors etc.

Oh and I'm not sure if it's so good for learning but as a REFERENCE it's the best: "Schildt: C++ The Complete Reference" it has everything you wanna know about C, C++ and the C++ standard template library. CHeck it out on Amazon.
